	AE Installer 2 (AEI2) is ~~a Java app~~, ~~for ease~~ of ~~bi-platform development;~~ the ~~old Installer (last at v1.1), was C-based but difficult to build.~~ [[~~User:Admin\|Alloc~~]] ~~labeled his AEI "2.0" due to its new features and his having started the codebase over from scratch~~. The app ~~also~~ requires .NET 2.0 in Windows and Mono on Macs. The AEI2 support thread is [http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2525 here] and the change log is [[Anniversary Edition/Installer/Change_log\|here]].		AE Installer 2 (AEI2) is the program used to install mods, patches and tools, as part of the [[Anniversary Edition]]. The app requires Java, as well as .NET 2.0 in Windows and Mono on Macs. The AEI2 support thread is [http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2525 here] and the change log is [[Anniversary Edition/Installer/Change_log\|here]].

	The AEI talks to the {{OMD}} and gets a list of available mods (it actually reads a cache which is updated every two minutes). 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.
