Google and Mediafire are very strict.== ### Step 2: Extract the .zip - Right click InfiniteFusion.zip and click Extract All ![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1nPkHC3Jg.png) - ==If you don’t see .zip, that just means you have an option turned off on your computer.

Double click INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat. ![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1JzeSRhkl.png) - If you get this Message below, click More Info.

Wait for this to finish. - ==Patience is key on this step! The amount of time this takes is dependant on *your wifi!* Grab some tea, make a sandwich, and be patient while it installs!== ### Step 6: READ! - Once it finishes, you will see the following below: 1. Red Line: This means it worked! 2. Blue Line: The text underlined in blue will not match the screenshot, but as long as you see the red lined text you are good. ![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1I8WBR3kg.png) - ==If you don’t get the red line, send a screenshot to #tech-support of the window or read the section below for the most common error.== ### Step 7: Play! - As long as everything looked good in Step 6, you can press any key or close the installer.
