Introduction
About this software
The Wargame Mod Installer is a software designed to allow an easy distribution of modded Wargame
files. For modders, the Installer, once configured, should provide an automatized and uniform way to
distribute their mods, without worries that user could by mistake misplace some files like in case of
the manual installation. On the other hand, distributing mods with a help of Wargmae Mod Installer,
is beneficial also for the users, as they don’t have to dig into the installation details, they just need to
run the setup.
Requirements
The Wargame Mod Installer requires the
.NET Framework 4.5
to work properly. It can be
downloaded
here.

Application Basics
How it works
The Wargame Mod Installer acts just like any other install software, with an exception that its
behavior is defined in an external configuration file.
The software is meant to be distributed alongside with modded files and the installer configuration
file.
Here is shown, how a sample directory structure of mod using the Wargame Mod Installer could look
like:
The structure like on the image above, can be packed into a Rar or a Zip archive and distributed. After
that, the user will only have to run the Installer ,which will guide him step by step through the
installation process and in case of something goes wrong, will restore user’s original files, backed up
beforehand.
About the Configuration File
The Installer Configuration File is just an XML file with a .wmi extension, containing some predefined
elements which tell the Installer how it should work. It allows to customize the Installer’s appearance
by specifying custom background images or text displayed on each screen. However its main role is
to tell the Installer what it should do during the installation process. This is done be using elements
called install commands. Each of them have a specific set of attributes which allow to define
arguments on which command will operate, like the file path for example.
The Configuration File is crucial for the application, and without any, it won’t start. So make sure to
always distribute this file with the Installer.
