2.1. Installing XAD 7z module
For some weird reason the author of the OS4 port of OWB decided to use an archive format that isn't by default supported by the UnArc as distributed through the OS4 install CD. This requires that you download a new XAD module for this archive format so that UnArc can handle it.

- Download the XAD 7z archive from the link above.
- Open the archive with unarc and extract it to ram:
- Open your Ram: drive and double click on "Install" in the xad_7z directory
- Once the install script is done, reboot your machine
