Dave Baldur's Gate, Games

I wanted to offer a seamless install experience for my Perils of Branwen (Mod), so I asked Jason Compton’s help from PPG to configure the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System. It hangs out here at sourceforge.

Dave Baldur's Gate, Games

This didn’t happen, but the problem of having one address book permanently available still needs to be solved. I got as far as starting a server, although it seems I need root user privilege. None of the vendors help;…
