XWA steam version (fresh install)
Installed mega patch 2020 (fresh install)
When I am installing XWAU2020update_5.0, I got these error messages when the installation is up to step 3/6 as in the attached photo.

Can anyone tell me what went wrong and how can I fix it?

kind regards

Hi,

I had the same issue with the GOG version on Windows 10.

I managed to fix it by unchecking "Create desktop shortcuts if available" (in the screen just before the extracts): see my attachment.

Yeah that should be it. It's a permission on your desktop that's not being allowed I believe.
Possibly something from steam. We've made some changes to future installers to hopefully fix this.
Chief XWAU Team annoying nitpicker.
