Darkness over Daggerford

saramakos

I have the installer for this module but unlike others it isn't a simple .zip that I can drag the .mod, .hak etc files out of and when I go to install it I receive an errors complaining about missing registry entries. Anyone else managed to get this module installed and running in NWN:EE Heastart?

I've tested it for you. the installer is an archive, you can use 7zip to open it and then drag and drop the items.

Thanks, I was wondering this too.

And it worked! At least I think so. Is this something you can often do with .exe files?

This is something you can do with archives, whether .exe or not.

I didn't know .exe was a kind of archive, is what I'm saying.

it is not your classic binary file it's kinda hybrid thing which runs some commands to auto deploy the content. many files like that can be probed with archive software - nVidia drivers for example.

This is an example of a self-installing archive, a special type of .exe. Popular in a more innocent age, but it's much safer to open them with 7zip or winrar.
