Orion -Syn- has made a patch to the installer that cleans up some messages here. Thanks man!

Installation:

Make sure you copied your Original DF:X folder! Do not install into the original DF:X folder!

CHANGED:
Some of you may may wonder if you need the older versions of the mod for this to work. That isn't neccessary, just follow these steps:

-Copy your DFX: folder. Paste it into the Novalogic folder. Name it to whatever you want. Now you have two DF:X copys.One is the original, one is for the Mod.
(If you already have a Mod folder just overwrite again lol.)

-Next, make sure that these three files are in the Mod folder:

localres.pff
resource.pff
language.pff
-Now, run installer. Choose your Mod folder as the directory to install in, NOT the original DF:X folder! AND DON'T install into the expansion folder or any sub-folder inside your Mod folder just click the Mod folder only!

-ONCE the file is done packing, you can continue.

-Then a check box shows "Clean up DF:X Mod folder". MAKE SURE that is checked.

-And then a dialog box pops up and asks if you want to Uninstall the Mod.
Now that may sound stupid (like "I just installed the Mod! IDIOT INSTALLER!!!!), but trust me, I tried changing that text but to no avail, so we're stuck with that. What it means, is that it will delete the temporary files that was extracted to your Mod folder. That's why you must have the "Clean up DF:X Mod folder" check box checked. If you don't do this, you will have problems. I'll say again, it will NOT delete the Mod you just installed, it will NOT delete your Mod folder, it will NOT replace Windows with Tiger OS, it will NOT.....(I think you get the point lol).

-Finally, you can click "OK" once it's done cleaning up, and that's about it! (Whew!)

I know this is insane, but that's the only way to do this if you want to play the Mod online on Public servers that host them. I hope this made sense!
