+#### Building from Source:
+To build the project from source code, you need:
+1. [.NET 8 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0) or later
+2. Visual Studio 2022 (or later) with .NET desktop development workload, or Visual Studio Code with C# extension
 
-If the program doesn't seem to launch, try downloading and installing [.NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.7](https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/bb581716-4cca-466e-9857-512e2371734b/5fe261422a7305171866fd7812d0976f/windowsdesktop-runtime-8.0.7-win-x64.exe) and restarting your computer. Note that the program currently only supports Windows 10+ 64-bit machines as seen [here](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/8.0/supported-os.md).
+**Note:** While the application targets .NET 7, you can build it with .NET 8 SDK or later. The `global.json` file ensures SDK compatibility.

+#### **NOTE:** This program does not automatically download nor install actual DLC files for you. As the title of the program says, it's only a DLC Unlocker installer. Should the game you wish to unlock DLC for not already come with the DLCs installed (very many do not), you have to find, download, and install those yourself. Preferably, you should be referring to the proper cs.rin.ru post for the game(s) you're tinkering with; you'll usually find any answer to your problems there.

-#### FAQ / Common Issues:
-
-**Q:** The program is not launching.
-**A:** First and foremost, note that the program currently only supports Windows 10+ 64-bit machines as seen [here](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/8.0/supported-os.md). If that does not apply to you, then make sure you've extracted the executable from the ZIP file before you've launched it, resolved your anti-virus, and have tried downloading the .NET Desktop Runtime mentioned under [installation instructions](https://github.com/pointfeev/CreamInstaller#installation) above and restarting your computer. If none of the above work, then I simply cannot do anything about it, I do not control .NET. Either your system is not supported by the current version of .NET, or something is wrong/corrupted with your system.
-
-**Q:** The game I installed the unlocker(s) to is not working/the DLCs are not unlocked.
-**A:** Make sure you've read the note under [Usage](https://github.com/pointfeev/CreamInstaller#usage) above! Assuming the program functioned as it was supposed to by properly installing DLC unlockers to your chosen games, this is not an issue I can do anything about and it's entirely up to you to seek the appropriate resources to fix it yourself (hint: https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewforum.php?f=10).
-
-**Q:** The program and/or files installed by the program are detected as a virus/trojan/malware.
-**A:** The "issue" of the program's outputted Koaloader DLLs being detected as false positives such as Mamson.A!ac, Phonzy.A!ml, Wacatac.H!ml, Malgent!MSR, Tiggre!rfn, and many many others, has already been posted and explained dozens of times now in many different manners... please do not post it again, you will just be ignored; instead, refer to the explanations within issue #40 and its linked issues: https://github.com/pointfeev/CreamInstaller/issues/40.
