Registering

To log in to Virtual Paradise you need an account, you can register for an account on the registration page. Accounts are still added manually so it may take some time before your account is activated, please do not sign up multiple times.

Download the program

Go to the download page and download a version of the program for your operating system.

Setting up

Windows

At the time of writing there is no installer for the program so this must be done manually.

  1. Get the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Redistributable and install it. You may skip this step if you already have it installed. If you do not install this you will probably get errors about the program not being configured properly or something missing from a DLL file.
  2. Unzip the file you downloaded earlier.
  3. Create a folder named "cache" in the folder where VP.exe is if it doesn't exist already.
  4. Run the program, it should work now.

Mac OS X

Mac OS X users only have to open the disk image and copy the program to the application folder.

Linux
