# Step 4. Installing
|
|
|
|
The process to install MyApp is as simple as executing the `Setup.exe` application. `Setup.exe` is generated by the `Squirrel --releasify` process and is located in the `Releases` directory.
|
|
|
|
## Setup.exe
|
|
|
|
`Setup.exe` is a C++ bootstrapper application used to install MyApp on the user's local system. It includes the latest full version of the MyApp package files embedded in the exe file (see [Install Process](../using/install-process.md) for details).
|
|
|
|
## Install Process Overview
|
|
|
|
The `Setup.exe` application does the following (see [Install Process](../using/install-process.md) for details):
|
|
|
|
* Creates a `%LocalAppData%\MyApp` directory for the MyApp to be installed.
|
|
* Extracts and prepares the MyApp files under an `app-1.0.0` directory.
|
|
* Launches `app-1.0.0\MyApp.exe` at the end of the setup process.
|
|
|
|
### Installed File Structure

|
|
|
An installation for MyApp will look like the following after the initial installation.
