After that youve installed it, a folder called Planeshift will be created. In it is a file called client. Use it to start PS, but dont forget to run the updater first!

Errm here i\'ll tell you actually what happens when i do this.

I followed the instructions on http://www.planeshift.it

It says to double click run me first.bat
Then i have to run PlaneShiftV0.2.010.exe

Well what happens is i double click run me first.bat and it shows this:

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

After it shows that, what is the next step I do?

Please make it detailed.

Thnx

Another thing you may consider is that I put all the files in a folder called PlaneShift. will that cause any problems...?

Also when I click run me first.bat it says Finished at the top and it says <0 files copied>

Does that have to do with anything?

Is there not a new executable file called PlaneShiftV0.2.010.exe in the same directory? This is the file that you run.

I am sorry if the following seems obvious to you, it\'s just that I want to make sure.

XxBoGiTyxX, it\'s strange, is that a COMMAND windows that opened when you double-clicked the run_me_first.bat script ? Or is it an editor ?

If it was a command windows, it should have shown somthing like :

Quote

PSV0.2.010.Part1
PSV0.2.010.Part2
PSV0.2.010.Part3
PSV0.2.010.Part4
PSV0.2.010.Part5
        1 file(s) copied.

Try somthing else : start a command windows (windows key + R, and type \"command\" if 98 or Me, or \"cmd\" if any brand of NT).
Change the directory to the one you\'ve downloaded the files into.
Type \"run_me_first\"

If the executable is still not there, you should have an error message, please report it here.

But I hope you will have it there, waiting for you  ;)

Good luck !

OMFG I HATE THIS!

I did what you said, and went on MS-DOS Prompt and typed run_me_first (I was on the same directory as my PlaneShift files were) and it says: Bad Command or file name
