Welcome to ArmA Enhanced Configuration System. 

INSTALLATION
============

ECS comes as a self-installing addon. Unpack the archive to a temp
directory and run the setup.exe file; theres a browse option that lets you
choose the directory you want to install to, and this should create
a '<ArmADirectory>\@ECS' mod folder with the mod in it.

Nothing is modified by the installer but make sure the @ECS folder is
in your '\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\' folder for it to work. 

There is also a 'ecs.bikey' in the 'Keys' folder that must be located in the
 '\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\Keys\' folder for connection to a signature
required server. Note that the server MUST have the the required key
installed on it for ECS to be allowed in.

Make a shortcut to your ArmA and add the mod option to your target line like 
this: "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\arma.exe" -mod=@ECS

If you have other mods installed or are using the '-nosplash' option it might 
look like this: 
"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\arma.exe" -nosplash -mod=<othermod>;@ECS

It is imperative you assign -mod=<othermod>;<othermod>;@ECS as the last mod if 
you have more than one mod installed/in use with ECS or ECS will not initialise 
properly.

Installation will use about 250 MB of disk space.
A successful install will display the "ECS Version xx.xx.xx" number in the lower left
main menu of ArmA after startup.
