[Opensim-users] Installing Opensim Modules for Windows Users

[Fleep Tuque]

Oops, I should note I also added this information to the wiki pages for
OSProfile, OSSearch, and Offline IMs pages, and when I'm finished I intend
to re-visit those pages and try to provide more precise instructions for
each step to help those who come after me.

I'd suggest that in the future, editors of those pages and maintainers of
the modules should try to follow the example set by the Groups page located
at:  http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Groups

Of all the modules I've tried to install, the Groups module is the best
documented with detailed and precise step-by-step instructions that can
help novices learn how to install the module successfully.

Sincerely,

- Chris/Fleep
