PACKAGE DETAILS
The launcher starts Dream Seeker directly. It does not extract archives,
run batch scripts, copy runtime files, or request administrator access.
It preserves the original package's local-game launch and -trusted option.
The DMB is renamed to SOA.dmb. All eight embedded runtime/game files retain
their original contents byte-for-byte from
the supplied SOA Season 2 Launcher.exe, including its existing engine
modifications. These are not asserted to be unmodified official BYOND files.

The new launcher and installer are unsigned; antivirus or Windows reputation
warnings can still occur. This packaging change is not antivirus certification.

Included BYOND license and third-party notices are copied from the local
516.1688_byond.zip supplied alongside the original launcher. Including them
does not grant additional redistribution or modification rights.
