How do I install PHTrainer 3.18

Where do I place it? I keep getting error that various .dll'sl are missing.

The most recent version of the trainer is 3-20, available here:

If you're having dll problems/program error problems, it may be because you took the PHTrainer.exe file out of the folder.

You have to keep the trainer in its own folder. It doesn't matter where you put the folder; it will find the game as it's running, but the Trainerkit.dll must be in the folder with the PHTrainer.exe, as well as hotkeys.ini, piratedata.ini and the failed.wav, lock.wav and unlock.wav files. Lacking any of them will give you problems.

If you don't like the sounds, you can substitute other .wav files, but the program looks for those specific names, and will refuse to run without them.

And, of course, the "warn" function in the personal status tab won't work without the various nation warn sounds, even though they aren't necessary for the trainer to work.

Thank you, I got it loaded (my Norton antivirus kept deleting the dll, so I turned off Norton and it worked). I clicked on the exe. and filled out the data, did see not any 'save' button.
But when I ran the game, already going, nothing worked. Does it only work at the start of a game?

Try running the trainer as an administrator. I had to do that to get it working when I upgraded to windows 7.

Thanks again, that did it. I am also running Win 7.

Did you download 3-20? It has some features that 3-18 doesn't.

Where can I download 3-20?
