++++++++++++ AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ++++++++++++++
===============================================================
STEP 1) Right click the .OIV file, then click "Properties"
STEP 2) Under the "General" tab in the Properties window, look for the "Change" button next to "Opens with:"
STEP 3) Navigate to OpenIV.exe at the root folder of OpenIV's install location (typically found in C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Local\New Technology Studio\Apps\OpenIV)
STEP 4) Click "OK" then the "Apply" button on the lower right, then click "OK" again.
STEP 5) Double click the .OIV Package you downloaded via OpenIV, then click the "Install" button (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to choose the mods folder option)

NOTE: You WON'T NEED to repeat Steps 1 to 4 anymore AFTER doing it the first time. Since all files are packaged in .OIV format, you may simply double-cick on them going forward. Easy and simple, right?
