I'll be the first to admit that I probably could have spent a bit more time Googling this answer before coming here, and I'm sure I'd find it eventually... but who has time for that?

On topic; I was wondering how to install OpenMW on Windows. I've seen answers on the OpenMW forums regarding 0.36, but I haven't seen anything for when they made their own graphics engine and am hesitant to install anything until I know for certain that it is required. That being said, I'd been reading something regarding OpenMW.exe, and the .zip files I downloaded from the site links, both .37 and .38, did not have OpenMW.exe anywhere. I'm assuming that I'll have to build OpenMW.exe from source... something I'm hesitant to do, especially if unnecessary. I might just wait until they release 1.0 and we won't have to worry about building it hopefully.

That being said, if anyone is willing to help me or direct me to where I can find better information regarding its install, I'd appreciate it :3

Thanks!

I'm not sure where are you downloading from, but just grab latest version https://downloads.openmw.org/windows/. It is simple installer. After installation, you will have OpenmW launcher similar to Morrowind launcher.

OpenMW has their own thread: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1519358-openmw-thread-9/

Which links to their own website. And crazy at it might seem, they do have instructions.


Questions you have can be asked in that thread, thanks.
