Apart from the Windows installers, you can find seven zip packages (six before 0.84.1) 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, Win32-lowend, 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. On the other hand, standard MinGW builds of DOSBox-X support the Slirp backend for the NE2000 networking but won't run on Windows XP/Vista. 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). All builds include the debugger.
* If you need Windows XP support, you can use either the Visual Studio XP builds (but not the standard Visual Studio builds) or the 32-bit MinGW low-end builds (but not the standard MinGW builds).
* If you need Windows XP support, you can use either the Visual Studio XP builds (but not the standard Visual Studio builds) or the 32-bit MinGW low-end builds (but not the standard MinGW builds). Those work in ReactOS as well, but support is considered experimental.
* If you need Windows Vista support, you can use either Visual Studio builds or the 32-bit MinGW low-end builds (but not the standard MinGW builds).

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.
