Installing VanillaRA
For best results, create a new empty directory to install VanillaRA into. Copy the build artifacts of your platform into this like the game executable (vanillara.exe, sdl2.dll and openal32.dll on Windows).
The paths in the first column are relative to the root directory of your VanillaRA executable. Filename casing doesn't matter on case sensitive filesystems.
If you have physical retail CDs you can copy the files directly from them when the CD is mounted. If you are using the freeware release you can use something like 7-Zip to directly extract the necessary files from their respective ISO images.
