== Installation problems ==
=== At first install, installation hangs on ''This seems to be your first time playing'''and doesn't show an install button. ===
There's a hidden install window. Press enter, or tab, then enter, and it should install into the default folder.
 
 
 
=== The launcher asks for a directory to install wurm but gives the error ''‘There was a problem opening the wurm online work directory. Please locate it again or select a new directory.’ ===
'''Did you create a new directory for Wurm (e.g. C:\wurm\)?
 
If not'''
 
Create a directory designated only for Wurm, such as c:\wurm\
 
'''If so:'''
 
Attempt to reinstall the game. Steps to do this…
 
''To reinstall Wurm Online, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Java, and search for the "application cache" or "Java Web Start". You'll find Wurm Online listed there and be able to remove it.''
 
Then just reinstall it by clicking o the "Launch" link on this site.
 
'''If so:'''
 
Post a log file on the forums and wait for dev or GM assistance
== Game launch problems ==
 === The play button is grayed greyed and updates have failed ===
