Installing:

If you don't have WinMX already installed download the WinMX 3.54 beta 4 with PIE Patch v3.2 installer, to your desktop.

If you have WinMX already installed but need the MXPie Patch you can grab the latest version here.

If you have WinMX already patched skip to "Connecting" below



Here you decide the folder to install it to

C:\Program Files\WinMX is default and this will be OK in most cases...



The "MXPIE patch" (that allows WinMX to connect to the WinMX network) modifys the HOSTS file.
Some antivirus, firewalls block modification of the HOSTS file.
If there is a problem after you install, reinstall with those items turned off.
Also provided is a manual way to modify your HOSTS file (MXpie v3.2 Manual.zip) if you would prefer to do the change yourself. located in C:\Program Files\WinMX
After you have installed the patch, run WinMX from the desktop shortcut.

the setup wizard should be self explanitory.
