If NOT set correctly, you will probably get error messages such as 'unknown stat found: 21'.

So, if you have taken this step, your Diablo 2 folder for installing PlugY will be the original folder. If using WinXP, it might also help to right-click on Hero Editor.exe, select Properties, and in the Compatibility tab, select Windows 95 mode. Delete pre-existing shortcuts for Diablo 2, and create a new one from the unmodded Diablo 2 folder in the same way that is shown in steps 6-8 for Diablo II.exe. Also (MOST IMPORTANT for Win XP/Vista) make sure that you have the language setting for English (in BOTH the Regional Options tab, and the Advanced tab). Note: GoMule has problems with the default 'Program Files' Directory of new windows versions (Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8). There are very strict restrictions on what you can edit, GoMule will never support stat, skill or item property editing. Make sure the Unicode setting is for single bytes. Although GoMule does edit the Diablo 2 game files, it cannot be considered a character or item editor. (NOTE: I have never had this problem, but others tell me this solved the problem for them.) From your Control Panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel) run Regional Settings, look for something about Unicode. Hero Editor usually requires that you are using an English version of Windows and your computer is set for single byte letters/Unicode, NOT multiple byte letters/UniCode. BTW, if a message comes up re “Version Conflict”, answer yes (to keep the newer file that you already have).

Run (double click) the'setup.exe' file (or just 'setup', if you have known file extensions hidden), and follow the directions (Click on the big button, on the left side). There should be three files ('setup.lst', 'setup.exe', 'Hero Editor.CAB').
