Folks, first of all, amazing work and good to see you've packed it in one big patch.

Now, I downloaded the 2 GB installer , checked the MD5 and after double clicking on the installer, I get this screen...any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello,
Place the installer in a folder instead of at the root of a drive, and it should be fine.

I don't know why the ModSTRKC was read only, trying again now.

Update: successfully installed now.

So, the installer has to be placed on XWA's install folder specified on registry. Thank you!!!

Not quite, it just cannot be in a root folder of a drive.
So:
c:\XWAU2020.exe --> wont work
c:\temp\XWAU2020.exe --> will work
