Installing a Beyond application

Our installers set the software up for you alone, by default. That means no administrator prompt, nothing written outside your own user folder, and nothing left running in the background unless the application genuinely needs it and says so.

Where things go

• Program files: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\<Application>
• Settings and data: %LOCALAPPDATA%\<Application>
• Nothing is written to C:\Program Files unless you choose to install for everyone on the computer.

Portable builds

Most applications also come as a version with no installer at all. Unzip it, run it, delete the folder when you are done. The settings sit in that same folder, so a portable copy leaves nothing behind on the machine.

Uninstalling

Standard Windows uninstall entry, or delete the folder for portable builds. Your data directory is left in place unless you tick the box to remove it, because deleting someone's records by default is not a decision an uninstaller should make on its own.
