3. Ini File Description

All files specified in the ini file must be included 
in the same directory as the application and the Unrar or Unace DLLs.

You should never include blank lines between lines of the config file.

Here is a config.ini file with comments :

Testing App			----> Application name
RAR				----> Archive type (RAR or ACE)
13				----> Number of files of the archive
archive.rar			----> Name of the first file (the .rar or .ace)
c:\installdir\game\		----> Default installation dir ("\" terminated)
10 Mb				----> Required disk space
game				----> Game or Application default dir name
defaultskin.bmp			----> Background image
go.bmp				----> Install button
gol.bmp				----> Install button with mouse over it
stop.bmp			----> Quit button
stopl.bmp			----> Quit button with mouse over it

--------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Instructions

First of all, you NEED the two following files in order to use 
Release-It :   UNRAR.DLL and UNACE.DLL.

We can't distribute those files due to some legal stuff.

Those 2 dll's have to be in the same directory than Release-It along 
with the BMP files for the skin. (or you may also specified a path to
the bmps in the config.ini). You must supply Unrar.dll in the dir even
if the archive is in ACE format. On the opposite, you do NOT need to
include Unace.dll if the archive format is RAR.

Once everything is setup correctly, all you have to do is launch the
application, choose the correct install directory and hit install!
