The program will automatically create the necessary configuration file and savegame files/directories within its own directory.

When running Wii-Hexen. you have to point it to the main game's IWAD file. The corresponding resource PWAD's will be loaded automatically.

If you wish, you can also load PWAD's with these releases for custom maps/graphics/sound/music.
