Installing a Beyond application

Our installers are per-user by default. That means no administrator prompt, no writes outside your profile, and nothing registered as a system service unless the product needs one and tells you so.

Where things go

• Program files: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\<Application>
• Settings and data: %LOCALAPPDATA%\<Application>
• Nothing is written to C:\Program Files unless you choose a machine-wide install.

Portable builds

Most applications also ship as a portable executable with no installer at all. Unzip it, run it, delete the folder when you are done. Settings live beside the executable so a portable copy leaves nothing behind.

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.
