notes: "This installer requires a zip archive of the original application files.\r\
  \n\r\nDownload Gold Box Companion from https://gbc.zorbus.net/\r\n\r\nGold Box Companion\
  \ requires Pools of Darkness version 1.1. You will need to set the install directory\
  \ when first running Gold Box Companion, it is C:\\GAMES\\DOS\\DARKNESS. See the\
  \ Gold Box Companion documentation for more details.\r\n\r\nPools of Darkness allows\
  \ importing characters directly from Secret of the Silver Blades. A placeholder\
  \ directory has been created at [install directory]/drive_c/GAMES/BLADES, you can\
  \ copy your game files here if you would like to use this feature.\r\n\r\nThis installer\
  \ creates a bash script for disabling the copy protection from Pools of Darkness\
  \ version 1.1, it requires xxd to function. Run remove-copy-protection.sh in the\
  \ install directory. With the copy protection patched you can press enter at the\
  \ copy protection screen to pass the check.\r\n\r\nThe DOSBox config is located\
