Windows Install Manual (Simple)

1. Check to see if you have Java installed on your computer already by clicking here. If not, then click the "Download Java Now" button, or get it manually from the Java Downloads page.
2. After Java has finished downloading to your computer, install it.
3. Download the bot client from our Downloads page.
4. Unzip (extract) botclient.zip to a new folder such as C:\NX Launch Pad\ or some other location on your computer you see fit. You can do this by using the windows extract tool or some other program like WinRAR. (If your system is asking you to overwrite files then you need WinRAR to extract)
5. Click on install-windows.bat. NOTE: Make sure you run in administrator mode.
6. Select the Windows 32bit option for 32 bit processors or the Windows 64bit option for 64 bit processors. Most users will have 32 bit processors.
7. Select the current version of the bot client you want to install.
8. Select the SQLite Universal option.
9. Click the Install button.
10. The bot client is now installed. Double click run.bat to start your bot client! NOTE: If you have 1 GB or less of ram, you may get errors when trying to launch from run.bat . You will need to launch from run-with-cmd-lowram.bat instead.
11. Wait a moment for the bot client to start up. Add your bot's auth code, and continue.
12. NOTE: Do not press any keys while the bot client is starting up, even if prompted to do so by the cmd window.

Windows Install Manual (Advanced) "Black Screen Shutdown"

If you are one of the users experiencing the black screen shut down (after opening install-windows.bat you see a black screen and it closes) you need to install the Java Development Kit using our advanced method. We have created a PDF instructions manual on how to do it. It consists of downloading the Java JDK program and installing it onto your system.
