Frequently Asked Question:

I have installed this mod, but it cannot run.

First, check your install path. If you're using The First Decade (TFD) or custom install path, you must change the mod installation directory when you install the mod. If you didn't install it on the right directory the mod cannot run and the launcher will give an error. Because I have tested the mod on Windows XP and Vista, also using a custom install path, and it works fine.

Second, if you did install it on the right place but still cannot run from the launcher, try to renistall your game and patch it to 1.04 (TFD users didn't need to patch)

And, if those solutions didn't help you, this is the last option:
1. Rename all NPM files into BIG files. For example, there is 00nproject.npm, rename it to 00nproject.big
2. Rename the Data/Script/ folder into Data/Script1 or something.
3. If you want to play NProject Mod.. start your Zero Hour normally.
4. If you want to play original ZH or another mods.. return all renamed files filename, same if you want to unistall NProject Mod
