How to install them.
a. first unzip the fantasy_grounds_II file to your desktop.
b. In XP, navigate to c:\program files.
NOTE:Pay attention here. It really MUST be the C: drive because that's where the install program codes the .xml links to. FGII runs with .xml and the .reg file EXPECTS the program to be on the c drive
In Vista, goto the program files folder as well, however if you have Vista x64 version (a 64 bit vista) then you need to go to the x386 program files folder.
c: Copy the Fantasy Ground II folder from inside the unziped folder to your program files folder.
NOTE:Pay attention here. If you unzipped the fantasy grounds folder to your desktop it will have a structure of Fantasy_Grounds_II>Fantasy Grounds II. Do not copy the Fantasy_Grounds_II folder to program files, navigate inside it, locate the Fantasy Grounds II directory (the one without the underscores) Copy it, and paste it into the program files folder. If you do not do this, you will be lacking your portraits for assigning a portrait to your character.
d. Open the FGII.reg file in notepad or wordpad... not microsoft word, wordpad. You need a plain text editor here, not a word processor.
Edit the xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx to read random. For example, 11231-22432-66564-37456-33478 would work great.
e Save the file
f Double click the reg file, this will add the registry entry to your computer allowing you to use the app.
g. Proceed to the installing the rules set tutorial

Rules set installation.

3. Inside the program files>Fantasy Grounds II folder locate the file Fantasy Grounds.exe Do NOT mistake the Fantasy Grounds updater for it. Do not run the updater ever.
Note: This is important. The updater is Verboten, if you run it, you will be updated, and it will recognize the files are cracked and patch them. You will lose functionality of the program immediately if you do this. So long as we all have the same version we'll be fine. If you get updated, you will be unable to join the game. You have been warned not to update.
If you do accidentally update, just delete the fantasy grounds II folder and reextract it from the zip

When you double click the application it will start and hit you with the splash screen with options

You want to "join a game as a player."

You need to type in your nickname or real name in the username area
