To install the SEIV Mod Launcher, do this:
1) Open the zip file for it.
2) Make sure WinZip is in "Classic Mode", and not the stupid wizard.
3) Click on the Extract button. A window entitled "Extract" should appear.
4) Enter the folder where you installed SEIV Gold into the top field labeled "Extract To". Either type it in or use the mini-explorer where it says "Folders/drives" to locate the folder.
5) Make sure to extract the Mod Launcher into the same folder that SEIV.exe is in.
6) Click on the "Extract" button.

To install a mod, follow the above instructions from 1-4, then do this:
5) Look back into the main WinZip window under the column labeled Path. If there is a folder name there, then just click extract. It will create the proper folder for you. If there is no folder there, then type in the name of an appropriate folder (such as the name of the mod) after where it says "C:\Malfador\Space Empires IV Gold" (or whatever) in the "Extract to" field in the "Extract" window and then click the extract button.

Hope that helps you.
