Do you have any idea of what could've done it?
What version do you have? Retail or Steam?
How did you install it?
I have the Steam version. And do you mean how I installed Amnesia or how I installed the installer?
Installed Amnesia.
Which OS are you using? And is it 32bit or 64bit?
Did you download the game through steam, or copy it from another folder?
I downloaded it through Steam. Also, how do I chech my OS? Sorry, I'm not that good at computer-related stuff.
What version of Windows do you use? XP? Vista? 7?
Okay, so this is getting pretty frustrating. I have a Macbook Pro. I bought the game from Mac Games Arcade. I played it through, everything works fine, until i tried to download the custom stories. they downloaded fine as zip files, they do not work. well, it doesnt work. i downloaded Wake and tried to put it in my Amnesia folder and the game still wouldnt recognize it. ive put it in about every file related to Amnesia, and it still does not work. Please help.

I don't know about Mac, but in Windows you have to place the custom stories in the custom_stories folder inside the game folder.
However, on Linux I believe it's a directory outside the game folder. Might be the same case for Mac.

Thank you for replying, but that was hardly helpful... Is there anybody here who has done this with a mac?

Offtopic: Longest reply I ever seen.
Ontopic: I think I'll try this out sometime I'm not busy. Looks promising.

On Mac:
-Find your Amnesia.app
-Right-click > Show Package Contents
-Drop the custom story's folder in Contents > Resources > custom_stories
I'm using a MacBook Pro as well, the above is how I install them. If that doesn't work, I dunno what to say. :\

RE: Amnesia Custom Story Installer - Jormungandr - 04-02-2011
Great it keep telling me "Error Please create a custom story before creating an installer!" Ok I unzipped the custom story with all the files in there to the Custom Story folder (Amnesia) - (Redist) - (custom stories) but it still thinks it's not there.
Using retail, OS: Windows 7 32x bit

*bump*
helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllp
RE: Amnesia Custom Story Installer - jens - 04-04-2011
This is for making an installer for the custom stories you create, it is not for installing custom stories you have downloaded.
RE: Amnesia Custom Story Installer - Jormungandr - 04-05-2011
Well I think it would be appropriate to sticky a thread that tells how to install games that you have downloaded I didn't find one
