If you get stuck give a shout out in the forums, there is a good chance that somebody has made a script for a similar application or will be able to answer your questions.

== Do I internet access in order to build PhoenixPE? ==
Yes and No. In order to keep download sizes reasonable and provide the most up-to-date software PhoenixPE needs to download some tools the first time it is run. Depending on the scripts you select to include in your build application may also need to download setup files.
Once files are downloaded they are cached and will not be downloaded again unless you manually clear the cache, nuke the project, or elect to always download the latest version of a particular program.
Once the initial build is complete and the cache is populated you no longer need internet access for subsequent builds.
== What if I have slow internet or poor reliability? ==
In addition to saving bandwidth, PhoenixPE's cache system was built with situations like this in mind.
On each app script that needs to download files, you will find a download button on the top right.
You can use this button to pre-download any scripts you wish to use. They will be cached in ''<PhoenixPE Root Dir>\Workbench\PhoenixPE\Programs'' and used in subsequent builds. Programs downloaded during build time will also be cached in the same location and used in subsequent builds.
Since PEBakery and PhoenixPE are fully portable, it is also possible to place the PhoenixPE install directory on a USB drive or portable hard drive, plug in at someplace with a faster/more reliable internet connection and launch PEBakery to pre-download the apps you need.
As a last resort, you can also download an installer manually and place it in the correct cache folder, but you must know exactly which path and file name that the script will be looking for, so this is best left for expert users who fully understand what each script wants.
== There is a new version of program '''''xyz.exe''''' available. Can I update the script myself in order to use the new release? ==
Sure. Most scripts can be easily updated if you know the version number and the download links have not changed.
Open the script in Notepad++ or your favorite code editor and modify the '''ProgramVersion''' variable under the '''[Variables]''' section.
<code>
[Variables]
%ProgramFolder%="Notepad++"
%ProgramExe%="notepad++.exe"
%ShellExtDll%="NppShell_06.dll"
%ProgramVersion%=8.6.8
%DownloadURLx86%=https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/download/v%ProgramVersion%/npp.%ProgramVersion%.portable.7z
%DownloadURLx64%=https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/download/v%ProgramVersion%/npp.%ProgramVersion%.portable.x64.7z
</code>
Keep in mind that depending on the software other script modifications may also need to be made. If in doubt ask for help in the forums.
You can also check the master branch on github to see if the script has already been updated but has not yet made it into a release package.
