Step 1A: Choose a Drive Letter

This build uses almost all relative paths, so the drive letter does not matter. Choose a drive letter or use the drive letter that Windows assigned to the drive.



Step 1B: Place the Build On Root Of Drive

If your build is on drive H:, for example, the paths should look exactly as they do below.

H:\Launchbox  
H:\Tools

If this step is skipped, the build will not work correctly. This is very important.
