Launch Microsoft Windows 9X 2. Place the E-Tools Disk in the CD-ROM drive. Auto-Run should launch the Install program. Proceed to step 5. 3. If Auto-Run is disabled on your computer you will need to run the Install program manually. From the Desktop, click on the Start button on the Taskbar and select Run. 4. When the Run window appears, type E:\Install\Setup.exe and click on OK. NOTE: If your CD-Rom drive letter is not E: (as shown above), then substitute the appropriate letter (e.g., D:\Install\Setup.exe) 5. When you reach the Welcome screen, click on the Next> button to continue. 6. When the Choose Destination Location screen appears, either choose the default folder by clicking the Next> button, or see the note below. NOTE: The default folder for installation is C:\Program Files\Wizards of the Coast\. (1.1) Installation Options When you install E-Tools for the first time, you have the choice of various installation sizes. You should use the complete installation option for your hard drive. This will require 60 mb of hard drive space for the program, save files, and possible patches. (1.2) Play Disk In order to use E-Tools you will be required to insert the E-Tools Disk in the drive from which you installed the program. The game will not run without this disk in the CD-ROM drive. (1.2.1) Using the Program Insert the disk into your CD-ROM drive and use the shortcut created during the installation. If you didn't create a shortcut, click on the Start button on the Taskbar. Then select Programs, then Wizards of the Coast. Finally, select "E-Tools" to begin. (1.2.2) Multiple CD-ROM Drives If you have more than one CD-ROM drive installed, or have a CD-ROM drive and a CD-R Drive, be sure to insert the disk into the drive you installed the game from. If you installed from your CD-ROM drive but try to play the game from the 2nd CD drive, the game will be unable to locate the disk. To get around this, you will need to edit the JA2.INI file at the root of your installed JA2 directory. On the 2nd line where it states CD=X; X is the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive. Make the change, save the changes, and then start the game. Everything should work fine.
