Disclaimer: If you screw up your computer due to my instructions, I'm not responsible. It won't happen if you aren't an idiot, but people do the most amazing things, so be warned anyways.
Sorry if I'm breaking any rules here, but I am having difficulties installing .net Framework, so based on the Linux solution, I got this one to work on Windows.
First, create sod.bat on your desktop or wherever.
Next, put the following information in it with notepad (Right-click sod.bat, select edit)
Change the "cd \Games\SoD" line to the cd to your Shards of Dalaya directory.
Save the file and exit
Download the following file:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H1HRLOPB
(Yes, I know the host sucks, you have to wait 50 seconds to be able to start your download.)
Throw unzip.exe somewhere in your path, like your Windows directory.
If everything went right, if you run that sod.bat file it should check to see if PatchFiles.zip is up to date, and if not, download it and unzip it for you. Then it runs Shards of Dalaya. You can run it instead of your old shortcut to play.
Note: One thing I noticed is that it doesn't bring up the SoD window focused, so you have to click in order for the game to grab focus. Basically, it's running in the background, and needs a click to bring it to the foreground.
