Hello all,

I maintain the Lutris installer that installs and sets up XWAUpgrade on Linux using WINE+DXVK with a simple button click. I wanted to have an easy way to choose if I want to launch X-Wing Alliance or the Babu Frik Configurator, so I created a simple batch script that uses a tool called RadioButtonBox.exe to create a very simple dialog box for selecting the game or configuration tool.

Since this is a combination of a Batch Script and an EXE, these can also be used by anyone running XWAUpgrade in Windows as well. You can find the files in the following link on Github. You won't need the YAML file at all, that's specific to Lutris, but the .bat and .EXE are there for use, just place them in the root of the X-Wing Alliance folder:

RadioButtonBox.exe comes from this location: https://www.robvanderwoude.com/dialogbo ... oButtonBox

Feel free to reply with any questions, open issues on the Github page, or even submit PRs.
