Here is how to do it:
 
 

1. Go to this – [taleworlds.com]  page and download WSE2 1.0.6.0 (1.0.6.0 was the latest version when I made this guide) under the Downloads tab.
    
    
    
    
    
   Should be look like this:
    
    
    
    
    
   
2. Create a new folder named Warband WSE2 (or whatever you name it) at your desired location of modded game (I have it on my desktop because I only have 1 local disk)
3. Now copy original Warband files that I mention in the following list with as is:
    
    
    
    
    
   • CommonRes (folder)
   • Data (folder)
   • languages (folder)
   • music (folder)
   • Sounds (folder)
   • Skins (folder)
   • Textures (folder)
   • TexturesHD (folder)
   • steam_api.dll
   • steam_appid.txt

    
    
    
   Should be these:
    
    
    
    
    
   
    
    
    
    
    
   If you don’t know where is your Warband files, simply go to your steam library on steam right click on properties of Mount & Blade: Warband and select Local Files from menu list and then browse button from the shown contents.

4. Copy the following files to your newly created WSE2 folder and click on “copy and replace all the occurences” if a warning appears:
    
    
    
    
    
   • CommonRes (folder)
   • languages (folder)
   • fmodex.dll
   • lua51.dll
   • mb_warband_wse2.exe
   • mb_2a.fxo
   • mb_2b.fxo

    
    
    
   Your folder should be look like this in the end without Modules folder and Persistent Kingdoms shortcut in it:
    
    
    
    
    
   

5. Create a folder named Modules

 
Congratulations! You have installed WSE2 but you have no module to play! Continue to other Header for solution.
 
 
Edit: I have forgotten to mention some of the files from WSE2 rar. Check the list of files and image accordingly. Image should be missing 2 files. Don’t be afraid as far as I remember Persistent Kingdoms doesn’t need them at all but you should be adding them just in case.

2. Rename it to “Persistent Kingdoms”.
3. Right click on newly renamed shortcut and select “Properties” from the appearing list.
4. There should be a “Target” section under “Shourtcut” tab.
5. Add “–module Persistent Kingdoms -no-intro” after the quotation mark. Now it should look like this (for my case it is in my Desktop): “C:\Users\user\Desktop\Warband WSE2\mb_warband_wse2.exe” –module Persistent Kingdoms -no-intro

 
Here is how to do it with steam:
 

1. Go to your steam appliaction and click on add a game button that is at the left bottom of the screen
2. Click on “Add a Non-Steam Game” and select the WSE2’s exe we have in WSE2 folder

4. Rename it to Persistent Kingdoms (or whatever you like).

Is it possible with other modules?

Yes. But If your module changed shaders to a different way, you have to delete the shaders or demand the module’s WSE2 shaders otherwise it will crash!
 
 
For native you just simply copy and paste your original Native folder in to your WSE2’s “Modules” folder.
 
 
Remember you have to make a bat file or shortcut for it too.
