The ZSL Uploader is a program that you need to run to have your stats manually uploaded to the stats server.
-When you download the ZSL Uploader, I would suggest clicking save and then select, C:/mydownloads
-This will put the ZSL uploader into a certain folder that I will refer to in the future (if you do not put it in here, just go to the folder you downloaded it to when I refer to here).
-When download is complete, double click “My computer” on your desktop
-Double click on the C Drive
-Double click on My Downloads
-Double click on the compressed folder (icon is a folder with zipper)
-Double click “ZSLUpload”
-A screen will prompt you to Extract All or Run or Cancel, CLICK EXTRACT ALL
-The extraction wizard will start, click next
-On the next screen you will that it asks “Files will be extracted to this directory:”, insert this below in that box:
C:\My Downloads\ZSLUpload_0001 -Click next Now, when you are done playing a rated game do the following so your stats are uploaded: -Click Alt+Tab (this minimizes Age of Mythology down to your desktop) .zsl files can be located in 2 ways, Search results list the .zsl files needed to upload Files are located in this folder Choose the game you need the uploader for: If you have a trusted friend that also plays aom, then you can send your .zsl files to that friend's e-mail account as an attachment.
