 Apart from the Windows installers, you can find six zip packages (three before 0.83.13) for each DOSBox-X version for the Windows platform in the [Releases](https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/releases) page as an alternative way to install DOSBox-X. These zip files are portable packages containing binaries built with Visual Studio 2019 (Win32, Win64, ARM32, ARM64 respectively), MinGW (Win32 and Win64 respectively). Look for zip files starting with "dosbox-x-vsbuild-" and "dosbox-x-mingw-win" in the Releases page.

-The Visual Studio builds are the default Windows builds to use, which include the debugger. On the other hand, standard MinGW builds of DOSBox-X versions support the Slirp backend for the NE2000 networking, but as of recent versions they won't run on Windows XP except for the low-end builds. You may also want to use one of the MinGW builds if you encounter specific problem(s) with the Visual Studio builds (such as floating point precision issues). In addition, while DOSBox-X provides both SDL1 and SDL2 versions and the former is the default version, the SDL2 version may be preferred over the SDL1 version for certain features (particularly related to input handling) such as better international keyboard support.

Go to a target folder for your platform and run dosbox-x.exe inside it, then DOSBox-X will be launched and ready to be used. **It is recommended to use the Windows installers for more complete installations.**

 The HX-DOS package allows you to run DOSBox-X in a real DOS system (MS-DOS 5.0+ or compatible) with the help of the freely-available [HX DOS Extender](https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/HX), which is already included in the recent DOS release packages. Once you unzip the package you can directly type ```DOSBOX-X``` to run in DOS. See the README.TXT file inside the DOS package for more information.

-Alternatively, you can run DOSBox-X from a DOS environment with the help of the free [LOADLIN](https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/linux/lnut/ch04_03.htm) program. With the LOADLIN DOS package you can run DOSBox-X right from DOSBox-X's DOS shell. Start the outside DOSBox-X with the setting ```memsize=127``` and ```cputype=pentium``` (perhaps also ```fullscreen=true``` and/or ```autolock=true```). Go to the directory where the files are extracted and type ```DOSBOX-X```. Then just wait for DOSBox-X to be automatically loaded within DOSBox-X.
