The first thing you need to do is everywhere it says Shaiya change that to your server name. This way people who play multiple servers wont have installation conflicts. The highlighted areas show where exactly to change. Do NOT add spaces after the = sign

NOW
If your client has more files, such as gameguard, or is missing one of the files listed you need to scroll to the files list
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
to ADD files simply copy and paste this whole line directly below the filelist, there should be NO blank space between each line
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
and then change the filename and extension INSIDE the quotes, this is all you need to change.

To build this setup you MUST save the script in your shaiya clients folder, in the same directory as your game.exe, updater, etc. This is what is referred to as Source in the script
Now click the Build menu and click Compile.

It takes a long time to compile, if your not running ANYTHING else on your pc about 1.5hrs to compile everything into the package.
Your setup.exe will now appear in a new folder in your shaiya directory titled Output, open that folder and find your shiny new setup. It is a one file standard automated setup. The basic scrip creates both a start menu and desktop icon.
in the files list {app} is the default program files directory specified earlier on. So when you specify {pf}\shaiya this is where {app} points to and where your files will be installed.
