Hero Editor version 1.04 for editing Diablo II LOD and NOX
V1.03, V1.07, V1.09D, V1.10, V1.11b, V1.12 and V1.13 (and V1.10s beta) Character Files and Items
(offline/SinglePlayer and Open only).

Download the ZIP file into a new directory. UNZIP it.
There should be three files ("setup.lst", "setup.exe", "Hero Editor.CAB").
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).
BTW, if a message comes up re “Version Conflict”, answer yes (to keep the newer file that
you already have).

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.
(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. Make sure the Unicode setting is for single bytes.  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). 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. If NOT set correctly, you will probably get error messages
such as "unknown stat found: 21".
