Allright, I don't understand this crap at all.

I'm at the VASSAL site. The option I see to take is "download the installer for Windows," - at the top left of the page. I got it. Now I have a zip file called VassalWindows. There isn't any help doc in the zip.

And no, I couldn't do the quick launch vassal. Access was denied, even after updating java.

Frank:

Here's my instructions. I literrally just clicked on the "Quick Launch" button and skipped downloading the installer. It will ask you to create a folder to put it in, and I put mine in one called VASSAL. Call me at work if you have problems. I'll send you a PM with the number. If me, the tech idiot, can figure this out, you certainly can.


Vassal is a game engine that allows you to play board games in cyber space. Think of VASSAL as your cyber gaming table and each module as the specific game you put on that table. You get VASSAL at www.vassalengine.org. Just click the quick launch link on the left and it will install. I put mine in my Programs folder and created a folder called VASSAL to house it in. Once that's done, create a sub-folder in your VASSAL folder and name it Modules. Create another one and call it "Saved Games". The following link takes you to a basic tutorial for installing modules for VASSAL: http://wiki.vassalengine.org/doku.php?id=getting_started:getting_started

Wierd. You don't even get a pop up asking you to download the file?

I found an old folder that has Vassal. I remember I went through this grief before trying to get it. I have it now.

I'll e-mail you the jnlp file. Maybe that can get you started.

Frank, just below the quick launch is another pink message that reads "download the installer." That's the one I used. It will get you the latest version. Here's the link where it takes you: http://www.vassalengine.org/communit...html&Itemid=26 Then click on the web launcher.
