The WB installer, "BAIN" (BAsh INstaller), is represented by the Installers Tab. BAIN is one of the most powerful interfaces of WB, as it boasts many handy features that no other mod organizer offers. Once all mod packages are placed within the ''Bash Installers'' directory, they will be recognized from within the BAIN interface where they can be arranged singly or in groups in any order, renamed, list markers added, conflicts detected, packages unpacked, installer wizards can be built and much more. | The WB installer, "BAIN" (BAsh INstaller), is represented by the Installers Tab.

BAIN informs the user of potential resource conflicts ''prior'' to installation and provides details concerning the conflicting resources, mods involved and the order numbers of the involved mods. This allows one to customize mod installation order to achieve the desired result. Perhaps even more importantly, BAIN keeps track of the mod-specific resource hierarchy, allowing simple installation and uninstallation of any combination of mod packages at any point in the installation hierarchy. This means that if a mod installed after a previously-installed conflicting mod is removed, then the assets from the overwritten mod will be re-installed automatically by default (this is the "Anneal" functionality of BAIN). Whats more, BAIN remembers the configuration on exit for the next WB session. | BAIN informs the user of potential resource conflicts ''prior'' to installation and provides details concerning the conflicting resources, mods involved and the order numbers of the involved mods.
