Name: Insanity's Oblivion Launcher
Version: 2.1.1
Date: 19/10/2009
Category: Utilities
Author: InsanitySorrow
Source: TES Alliance/TES Nexus

=================
Requirements:
=================

.Net Framework 2.0

=================
Description:
=================

The Oblivion Launcher allows the user to easily and effortessly launch Oblivion, The Construction Set and more with
a simple click of a button.

As of version 2.1 there are a total of 19 launch options along with a few more additions which should be helpful. ISOBL also fully supports both 32bit and
64bit Operating Systems.

=================
Details:
=================

Version 2 of ISOBL supports a lot more than version 1, more than double the amount of options available to you. All of the current supported features were
all requested by users of ISOBL.

=================
Usage:
=================

Applications:

Most applications are automatically detected when ISOBL is run, the only three that do not get detected are GIMP, Photshop and Gmax. Now if you use either of these
you can go to the settings tab and manually set the install paths for them, be sure to save the settings before closing the app so that the paths are kept.

For GIMP be sure to set the path leading to the BIN folder, this is where the EXE is located.
For GMax be sure to set the path leading to its install location, no specific folders need linking too.
For Photoshop be sure to set the path leading to its install location, no specific folders need linking too.

Modding Tools:

The modding tools work a little different to the other apps. You will notice a modding tools folder provided with ISOBL, make sure this is always next to the
ISOBL EXE file. Inside this folder are folders for all supported Modding Tool apps.

To use an app place its EXE file inside the corresponding tool folder along with anything else that modding tool needs. For example, I want to use TES4 Gecko
well I place the TES4Gecko.jar file inside the TES4 Gecko folder I provided.

This is the best way to support these tools, rather than having them spread around they can be kept in a single place where ISOBL can find and launch them.

=================
Installation
=================

1. Extract EXE from the Archive
2. Run EXE

Tip: Extract the exe to your oblivion directory and create a shortcut of it to the desktop, this way the Isobl - Settings won't take space on the desktop. Or altrenatively you can hide the Isobl - Settings from it's properties.

=================
Un-Installation:
=================

1. Delete EXE
2. Delete the ISOBL - Settings.ini file
