Before I begin this installation tutorial, I would like to remind everyone that Sallos is not very user friendly for computer illiterate people. There are config files that need to be manually edited for optimal use and the installation can be tedious. Sallos does not have a macro function like Razor and UOSteam, it is strictly a PvP client and designed around PvP aspects of the game.
Do not skip any steps in this guide or you will get problems. During this entire process, do not leave Ultima Online running at all.
Step 1: Download the required files that allow Sallos to run. This includes the latest DirectX9 and .NET Frameworks. If you know for a fact you have both of these installed, you may skip this step. There is no harm in redownloading them. They are small files and will install quickly.

.NET Frameworks Download
Step 2: For ease of use and switching between clients, you'll want to download the UOForever launcher. This launcher has a quick and easy method of selecting which client you would like to use, including Razor, UOSteam and Sallos. The launcher is not up to date, so the version of Sallos that is automatically downloaded with it will not function.

Step 3: You need to make sure that you are using the correct version of Ultima Online. There are many versions and even versions of versions. Razor and Steam and most clients use an older file format called MUL, Sallos uses the newer format called UOP. Chances are, you have the old one. You can check by finding your default Ultima Online directory and looking at the artLegacyMUL.uop file. If you do not have this file with the uop extension, it's the wrong version. Keep in mind that UOSteam and Razor are capable of using both formats, so reinstalling the newer version will not effect their use. If you do happen to have the uop file format, you can skip step 3.

Step 4: Once you've downloaded Ultima Online, you will be required to fully patch it. Just launch Ultima Online from it's default icon which should be located on your desktop or in it's default directory. The patch can take a an hour or two depending on your internet speeds. Once it's completed patching, just close the default Ultima Online patcher.
Step 5: Now that all of your files are in place and ready to go, we need to get the latest version of Sallos in the correct folder, but before we do that you need to disable your Antivirus. If you fail to disable your antivirus it may not let you download, extract or run the Sallos launcher. If you do not have an antivirus, you may skip this step.
Step 6: Now that your Antivirus is disabled, you can download the latest version of Sallos that is distributed for UOForever. No other versions will work on the server and this one has been modified by Adam to work here specifically.

Step 7: This is optional but if you want Sallos to launch with the UOForever launcher, you must place Sallos in it's correct folder. The easiest way of doing this is to run your UOForever launcher (Not the Sallos launcher) and let it download the old version of Sallos. Once it's done, it will create all of the appropriate files and folders. Take the Latest Sallos version you downloaded in step 6 and extract all of the files into the Ultima Online directory, overwriting the ones created by the launcher.
In my case, this directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Ultima Online Classic\Sallos, It may be different for different people depending on operating systems or custom installations. If you choose not to use the UOForever launcher, you can simply extract the Sallos.rar anywhere and run the launcher.
Step 8: Login to Sallos using your normal server credentials and Enjoy.
I will write a guide on how to use and configure Sallos soon.
