Manalink 3.0

[Phage23]

Hey guys, I'm new here and I've been trying for a few days to install Manalink 3.0 Born of the Gods V2, but when a click the Magic.exe icon it just won't work, nothing happens. I've seen many people here saying I need to download patches and many other things I'm not sure I need to download at all since I've downloaded the latest version I've found. Could you guys please give me a help here.

The "read me" file says:

Install
-------
After extracting the archive, just navigate to the Manalink 3.0 folder and
click the "Install_Me_First!.cmd" file. It will run the Default Mods and
create the "Toggle_Sounds.cmd" and "Play_Manalink.cmd" files.
Full Install will require 505MiB of free space.

If you have any issues with text or art when first played, please reboot.
------------------------

But guess what, there isn't such file in the Manalink folder.

Your problem seems to be caused by your antivirus that doesn't let Magic.exe to begin.You have to put the program in the exception list of your antivirus.Your version is old but probably doesn't need the instructions of the "read me" file.Due to a problem we had few months ago you can't download/install the latest update but hopefully there will be a new update in couple of months in patches forum.Till then enjoy the one you installed.

And is it just me or are there a lot of broken links (or files no longer available) in the installation guides on the forums? It can make having a cohesive path from no game to a fully updated game pretty difficult.

EDIT: Though to be fair, yours is still up, AJ.

The fully updated game for now is not possible for those that don't have already installed 10+ months ago the latest update.For now the best solution is my full installation which is 2 updates behind.
