Installing PCGen Manually

 

                If you have PCGen Currently installed on your system, you must either install the new version into a new directory or delete the old version currently on your system.  DO NOT INSTALL A NEW VERSION ON TOP OF AN OLD VERSION OF PCGEN!!!.  Installing a new version over an old version of PCGen can and will cause issues when you attempt to run the new version.

 

               To transfer characters from one version of PCGen to the new version of PCGen, all you need to do is copy the pcg files from the "characters" directory from the old version of PCGen to the new version.

               NOTE:If you copy PCGen from one location to another you must delete the options.ini file in the copy since it records directory locations which will no longer be valid! Deleting the options.ini file is always safe and simply resets PCGen to all its default settings. This file will be created if necessary, and saved whenever you exit PCGen.
