How to open XWI file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XWI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter

This can be achieved by typing X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter into the operating system search engine.

Step 2. Create association of X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter with XWI files
If, despite the installed application, the XWI file does not start in the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter application as the default for handling the XWI file.
Step 3. Update X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter to the latest version
If, however, after binding X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter with Star Wars: X-Wing Mission there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the LucasArts Entertainment Company, LLC website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XWI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to XWI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XWI file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected XWI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XWI file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XWI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use LucasArts Entertainment Company, LLC help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XWI except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the XWI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XWI file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
