-Begin with Python 2.5.1. Run it with default settings; just keep clicking next until you're done. You can install PyFFI right after that the same way. PyFFI is needed for the Blender NIF scripts. Just keep clicking next like you did so well while installing Python.

 ===Blender 2.45===
-When that's done you can begin installing Blender 2.45. Double click the installation file and press next, i agree, next, next, install, *wait a second* click OK, uncheck the box that says Run Blender 2.45 and click Exit. Basically; put yourself on autopilot but don't forget to uncheck that box.

-===NifTools Scripts===
-You're doing great so far, it's time to install the NIF scripts. This is very similar to the Blender installation; next, I agree, next, install, uncheck box, exit. Almost nothing you can do wrong and done in a few seconds.

-That's it you've installed everything you need to run Blender and the most recent NIF scripts. You can delete all install executables if you need to free disk space, but if you don't put them somewhere save in case you need to reinstall or repair an installation.

 ''Note: You don't have to configure the NIF scripts like you did with the version 1.5.7 and older. You can now choose the NIF version directly from the export screen.''

 =Installing Blender 2.43 with NifTools Blender scripts 1.5.7=
-Installing this is only necessary if you want to export animations. The program [[NifBlend]], that's needed to convert the exported animations into the right format, only works with the animations exported with the script versions 1.5.7 and below. Those are only compatible with Blender 2.43 and below.
+From version 2.3.0 onwards the scripts can export Oblivion animations. However, this new feature is still fairly experimental, so if for some reason that does not work for you, you can fall back on the more traditional way of exporting animations via the program [[NifBlend]]. This program converts animations exported with the 1.5.7 scripts into the right format. NifBlend only works with the 1.5.7 scripts, and those scripts only work with Blender 2.43, and that Blender only works with Python 2.4.
