# Quick installation
This guide assumes you installed **Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Warchest** from GOG, but it also works with CD or other versions.
You can get it from [GOG here](https://www.gog.com/en/game/medal_of_honor_allied_assault_war_chest).
## 1. Download
Grab the latest `openmohaa-*-windows-x64.zip` from the [releases page](https://github.com/openmoh/openmohaa/releases).
## 2. Find your game folder
1. Right-click your **Medal of Honor - Allied Assault** desktop shortcut → **Properties**
2. Then check the "**Start in**" field, that's your game folder.

Alternatively, try one of these common locations:
- C:\GOG Games\Medal of Honor - Allied Assault War Chest
- C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\MOHAA
- C:\Program Files\Origin Games\Medal of Honor Allied Assault Warchest
- C:\Program Files\GOG Galaxy\Games\Medal of Honor - Allied Assault War Chest
If not there, you'll need to search where you installed it.
## 3. Install
1. **Extract the .zip file** you downloaded into the game folder you found earlier.
2. **Create desktop shortcuts** for these 3 files:
* `launch_openmohaa_base.x86_64.exe` - *Allied Assault*
* `launch_openmohaa_spearhead.x86_64.exe` - *Spearhead*
* `launch_openmohaa_breakthrough.x86_64.exe` - *Breakthrough*
To do that, **right-click each file**, then choose **Send to → Desktop (create shortcut)**.

Now you can launch any version of the game directly from your desktop using OpenMoHAA.
