+startupTips.text=<h2>Welcome to Oni's Anniversary Edition Installer!</h2>\
+<h3>Please take a moment to read these instructions before you start.</h3>\
+<ul><li>Read each mod's description carefully before you decide to install it.</li>\
+<li>On your first run, try not to install more than 20 to 30 mods. Installing<br>\
+    too many mods can cause Oni to run out of memory.</li>\
+<li>To uninstall a mod, just unselect it from the list and click "Install"<br>\
+    again; you don't have to delete it.</li>\
+<li>It's highly recommended that you update your mods and the AE Installer<br>\
+    whenever you're notified that an update is available.</li>\
+<li>If you're notified that two mods are incompatible, you have to unselect<br>\
+    one of them before you try to install again.</li>\
+<li>To report bugs or problems with the Anniversary Edition itself or the<br>\
+    AE Installer go <a href="http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/viewforum.php?id=12">here</a>.</li>\
+<li>To report bugs with a particular mod, visit that mod's thread, which is<br>\
+    usually linked to in the mod's description.</li>\
+<li>Warning: If too many mods which use custom particles are installed, Oni<br>\
+    may crash. Read more about this issue <a href="http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2567">here</a>.</li>\
+<li>For more information and instructions on the features of the AE Installer<br>\
+    itself, see "Help" under the "Installer" menu.</li>\
+<li>To disable this message, uncheck the corresponding option in "Settings"<br>\
+    under the "Installer" menu.</li></ul>
