Warzone 2100 Forums

Chocolatey is an APT-inspired package manager for Windows XP and newer versions.
Using Windows 7, I tested its Warzone 2100 3.2.3 package:

0. To install Chocolatey, first visit https://chocolatey.org/install and copy the command text for 'cmd.exe'. 1. Launch 'cmd.exe' as administrator and confirm your intention.

2. Paste the command text in 'cmd.exe' and wait until Chocolatey is installed. To use it, a new instance of 'cmd.exe' is required, so close the old one.

3. Optionally, visit https://chocolatey.org/packages/Warzone2100 and click away the popup box that appears.

4. Again, launch 'cmd.exe' as administrator and confirm your intention.

5. To install Warzone 2100, type `choco install warzone2100`.
If you had already installed the game with Chocolatey, you could also upgrade it by typing `choco upgrade warzone2100`.

When interrupted by a confirmation dialog, press 'Y' and Enter. 6. Congratulations, the game is now installed on your system.

Why do i want to install this on my win box?

Why wouldn't you want to run some random command from some website with admin rights?

Warzone already provides an installer for windows!

Every piece of malware has a fancy official website and provides an installer for windows. Very few of them make it into package managers.

Forgon, thank you, very nice. I haven't heard of this package manager before, and i doubt many windows users are smart enough to appreciate it, but i hope it'd help some of the powerusers who are stuck on windows for whatever reason, or maybe even help them discover the game.
