3. Open the vgclient.ini file found in:
     C:\Program Files\Sony\Vanguard\bin

4. In the [UI] section change the ShellName to (or add it)
     ShellName=[UI Name]

NOTE: This will be found in the UI readme file.

5. Copy any other files as directed by the readme to
     C:\Program Files\Sony\Vanguard\bin

NOTE: If you have to copy over files such as user.ini, be sure to rename the old file to something like user.ini.bak, just in case you need to reinstall later.

6. Once the game is loaded type the following command to save your
   current layout in case you want to return to it.
     /uisave MyLayout
