The AEI talks to the {{OMD}} and gets a list of available mods (it actually reads a cache which is updated every two minutes, so if you're expecting to see your Depot change take effect immediately, you might be confused). It then offers those for download and installation. It will also detect when an installed mod has an update available, and can even update itself using the supporting Java program AEInstaller2Updater. The AEI also supports localization (easy translation into other languages). Currently the AEI only supports English and German, but if you want to contribute a translation, read [[/Localization|this page]].  You can email Alloc with your strings when you're done.

==Main features==
===Saving and loading===
*You can save a list of your current selection of mods by choosing '''Mods>Save current mod selection''', then restore the list later using '''Mods>Load mod selection''' (this only saves the list of selected mods, not the actual mods).
===Settings===
*Also, don't forget to check out the AEI's Settings. Notice that the AEI copies over [[outro]] by default, but not [[intro]]. It's recommended that you keep the update notification option checked.

===Core packages===
*You can view core packages by choosing '''Mods>Show core packages''', you can view the description of these packages, and right-click to open their mod folder, or to re-download them if necessary, but you can't delete them. These packages will always be automatically installed and updated.

===Tools===
*You can manage modding tools by choosing '''Tools>Manage Tools''', from there you can download and install or uninstall tools. Installed tools will later appear under the '''Tools''' menu for easy access.

==Handy tips==
*Status column - Each mod starts off with "___", three blank spots. The first will become 'I' when the mod is "installed", the middle space will become 'U' if an "update" is available, and the last becomes 'D' when you've "downloaded" the mod.

*You can right-click a mod to go to the mod's page on the Depot, go to the package on your HD (if downloaded), delete the mod locally (if downloaded), or force a re-download; this might be useful if you messed up or deleted the content of the mod on your hard drive, or if you think you got a corrupted download.
