   Before you run this, you should already have:
     - The Arma 3 Tools installed properly via Steam
     - A properly set up P-drive
-  
+
   If you have not done those things yet, please abort this script in the next step and do so first.

   This script will create two hard links on your system, both pointing to your ACE3 project folder:
     [Arma 3 installation directory]\\{} => ACE3 project folder
     P:\\{}                              => ACE3 project folder
