Where did you download the files, they\'re not zipped.


You just have to download all the files in a directory and run \"run_me_first.bat\".

it probably means that your files arent exactly what they should be, I had to re download all of them, and I still only got three of the files copied. I don\'t know about your computer, but mine takes one hour to download any single one of the files, given five hours of download time, theres a lot of chances for a single byte to go missing along the way somewhere...

the \"bat\" file makes a binary join of the file and copies the result as an exe file...

\"copy /b PSV0.2.010.Part1 + PSV0.2.010.Part2 + PSV0.2.010.Part3 + PSV0.2.010.Part4 + PSV0.2.010.Part5 PlaneShiftV0.2.010.exe\"

mine didn\'t work...
in explorer i renamed each file to:
ps1.bin
ps2.bin
etc...

then in command prompt i did:
\"copy /b ps1.bin + ps2.bin + ps3.bin + ps4.bin + ps5.bin ps.exe\"

and then it worked...
if u dunno how to run command prompt, juz edit the .bat file so it\'s got the above line there instead...
if that doesn\'t work then i got no idea...
keep a backup of originals if u want...
but wat was above is how i did it and i dunno if it\'ll work for any1 else...
