Setup

From scratch.

Account, a script from the Store, then Windows + Jagex Launcher + RuneLite. No coding.

VanguardBOT

Windows 64-bit zip. Unzip it — you should see Setup and Vanguard Launcher.

Download zip
  1. 1

    Create a Vanguard account

    Register with Google or email. The launcher uses that same login. Then claim a free script or buy one — nothing runs until a script is on the account.

  2. 2

    Install Jagex Launcher and RuneLite

    If you already play Old School on this PC, you have both. If not, install Jagex Launcher and RuneLite first.

  3. 3

    Unzip, then run Setup

    Put the folder on your Desktop — not in Program Files. Open it. You should see Setup and Vanguard Launcher. Double-click Setup once. That installs the RuneLite plugin, adds a Defender exclusion, and puts a shortcut on your Desktop. Approve the administrator prompt if Windows asks.

  4. 4

    Open Vanguard Launcher

    Double-click Vanguard Launcher. First time: Jagex Launcher opens — log in and click Play on Old School. If the official client or normal RuneLite opens, leave it. Vanguard takes the login, closes that client, and starts its own RuneLite. Log in with Google or the same Vanguard email. Scripts are unlocked from the Store — they are not in the zip. Pick a script. When the status says In game, press the green button. Don’t start the game from Jagex Play or the normal RuneLite shortcut yourself.
