sorry if this has already been answered, but i looked through most of the threads and couldn't seem to find anything.
i was just wondering if installing the game using XP is different from when using Win7 or Vista. i'm not exactly the most tech savvy person out there, so i kinda wanted to make sure i was doing it right before i screwed up XD
thanks for the help, i can't wait to play this game! :)

Loading on XP is a lot easier than Win7/Vista. No UAC to dork around with.

so i won't have to worry about anything other then the System 32 stuff?
no special directions or anything? just wondering because when i first went to install it, i noticed the progress bar was downloading some dll files, and i had thought it was going to ask me first before it did that (to which i would promptly respond YES to NOT override any of my system 32 dlls). when that happened i cancelled the install and made this thread to make sure i hadn't missed something.
perhaps i simply misread what it was doing, preparing the files perhaps?
thanks for the response btw, i'm sorry that i'm such a noob at the back end stuff XD

It will only ask that if it's actually going to replace any dll's if its adding new ones it will just add them.

I do believe Steve's development box is WinXP (or it was), so there shouldn't be many compatibility issues.

It was WinXP64 but it's Win7 now.
