######### Installation
#########
1. Copy all files to your NHL06 directory (including the db.viv and exhibition.exh!!!)
2. It is recommended that you backup your files before proceeding
3. The installer will backup the following files for you:
My Documents\NHL06\exhibition.exh
My Documents\NHL06\exhibition.exha.tdb
db\db.viv
It will put these files in My Documents\NHL06\backup
It will copy the new files into their correct locations
NOTE: This will only work if you have NHL06 installed in its default location (c:\program files\ea sports\nhl06) and have not renamed My Documents!
This also will not likely work in Windows Vista!
4. It will then import the torfs, logos and jerseys for the all star teams
NOTE: This also will replace your FrontEnglish.bin file! It was changed to rename the all-star teams!
5. It will then rebuild all the affected archives (VIV and BIG files) used in the mod. It will also regenerate the headers for you!
6. lastly it will delete all the FSH and BIG files in your NHL06 folder, so if you have any extra files of these types in there, make sure to back them up. Alternatively, when you get to that step you can cancel out of the batch file. I have it set to pause before it does that step.
7. Run BHImport when finished. This file is not provided. BHImport07 (for NHL 07) was used during development and testing.

Thank you very much! I play NHL06 with my friend online so this is a relief for us (it would take enormous time to make rosters ourselves). It is great to see that someone still makes rosters for 06. Keep on updating your rosters (don't hurry, take your time), at least you'll keep me and my friend happy for a long time with this update!
