IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE ALL ACS FILES (NOT FCS) ARE IN C:\WINDOWS\MSAGENT\CHARS
If this directory doesn't exist, please install MASH or MS Agent from Runtimes. Once again, MOVE THE ACS FILES ONLY!

NOTE: If you are using AgentPatch, run the program as Administrator!

Welcome and thank you for your interest in testing
XP Search Assistant Rewritten Public Beta 2, a rewritten and more custom interpretation of the Windows XP search assistant!

NOTE this program is in BETA! Expect bugs, issues, and other potential errors!

INSTRUCTIONS (for new users / people not familiar with MS Agent)
1 - Go to Runtimes and install _mash_full_setup.exe
2 - Once that is done, install the Sam TTS engine also in there
3 [Optional] - If you want Rover transparency on Windows 11, run AgentPatch.exe and have XP Search Assistant Rewritten set to run as administrator. Alternatively, on Vista/7/8/8.1/10, right click the program and set the compatibility mode to 98/ME.
4 - Success! Just make sure you drag the rover.acs and other ACS files only to the CHARS folder shortcut!

NOTE: When this program gets 1.00 status, the EXE installer will handle most of this for you! You only have to install the runtimes once though!

---------------------------------------------------------
System Requirements:
- .NET Framework 4.5.2

    installed (FCS mode)
