Rogue-rogues don't come with an installer. this makes them more of a hassle to use.

  1. download the one you need
  2. the file is a ZIP file but it will be displayed in "Windows Explorer" as a folder, do not be confused by this, it is still zipped
  3. you have to unzip the "kJams XXX.app" folder to the "Desktop" folder (note "XXX" means either "Lite" or "Pro" or "2")
  4. To unzip, just drag "kJams ###.app" to the desktop
  5. you may then throw out the zip file
  6. open the .app folder, and go into Contents, then into Windows
  7. in there you'll see "kJams XXX.exe", select that, right click, then pick "make a shortcut"
  8. drag the shortcut top your desktop
  9. close the window
  10. use that shortcut to launch kJams

When a new update arrives via installer, just install it like normal, then trash the .app and the shortcut from your desktop. If you go and get another rogue, without getting a new update thru the installer, then you just trash the .app folder, and replace it with the new rogue using the steps above. There is no need to create another short cut, the current one will continue to work.
