Got it... Tests are on the go... 😉

One question regarding default installation folder on XP, usualy in revious releases it was 'c:\Program Files\Wing Commander Saga' but while installing RC2 I noticed that it was something like 'c:\Documents and settings\[user name]\Local settings\Application Data\Programs32\Wing Commander Saga' (seems like Windows Vista/7 default for 32-bit applications?). Is this intentional?

Damn. I changed the installation level to current user - this has messed up the default installation folder. Thanks for bringing this to my attention - fixed.

Btw don't forget to install this in admin mode, otherwise you won't be able to install WCS onto drive c.

First iteration of the manual added.

Will try and put some sort of testing contribution into this ASAP.

New EXE Rev. 7777 is available. It *should* fix a critical bug, which might block mission progress in a number of missions, most notable in Cairo 4, Hyperion 3 and Freya 3 if capships are destroyed prior to fighters' elimination. Please use this exe and test, test, test! This is a major change and it might break some totally unrelated functionality.
