  2. Extract or Run Setup: Extract the archive to a dedicated games folder using 7-Zip or WinRAR (avoid installing inside restricted system folders like C:\Program Files).
  3. Verify Dependencies: If prompted on first launch, install the bundled DirectX, Visual C++ Redistributables, and .NET runtime packages located in the _CommonRedist folder.
  4. Launch as Administrator: Right-click the main game executable and choose Run as administrator so local save files and configuration profiles write cleanly.
