Install one of following into new folder, same as when installing new game:

Since VCMI 1.2 you can skip this step, just run VCMI launcher and it will help you with importing H3 data. For older releases you can follow this step.
- Install Heroes III from disk or using GOG installer.
- Place "Data", "Maps" and "Mp3" from Heroes III to:
Documents\My Games\vcmi\
Create this folder if it doesnt exist yet
- If that's your first installation, connection to the mod repository will be configured automatically, you'll see mods available to install from VCMI launcher -
- We recommend you to install VCMI extras to support various helpful UI tweaks
