 Do NOT run anything from inside the zip.  The .bat files must sit next

+UPGRADING from an older version?  Extract the new zip OVER your
+existing game folder and say YES TO OVERWRITE.  Do NOT delete the

+key/joystick setup, contentolume.cfg with your volume) are not in

+If you prefer a clean delete anyway, copy those two files out first
