# Install & Uninstall

Replace Genius is downloaded as a setup file called ReplaceGeniusXX_Setup.exe, where XX is the major version number. Start the setup exe-file to begin the installation wizard that will guide you through the setup process. All needed files will be installed during the setup. A complete un-installer will also be installed that you can later use if you wish to remove the program from your system. You may need to restart your computer after installing/uninstalling, because some files may be locked by Windows so the installer can not modify them.

Note for Windows 95/NT4 users: Replace Genius requires a few files that are not included in the installation packages. Most systems have these installed by default, but Windows 95/NT4 users may need to install them separately. The files are most easily obtained by installing Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4 of later. If they are not found, Replace Genius will crash when trying to start.

# Upgrade

To upgrade Replace Genius you simply need to download the new version and install over the old one. You settings will be kept.

It is possible but not recommended to have multiple versions installed at the same time. The problem is that settings only present in the newer version will be deleted every time you run the older version.

# Settings Location

Replace Genius stores its settings in the "common appdata" folder (`%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\RL Vision\Replace Genius\`). All users share these settings (except in Vista, see below). Settings will be kept even if you update Replace Genius.

To easily open the settings folder, start Replace Genius and open the settings window. Here select the "problem solver" section and you will find a button that opens the settings folder!

Store Settings Locally

It is possible to make Replace Genius to store the settings in its application folder instead. Simply create a folder in the Replace Genius program folder (typically `c:\Program Files\Replace Genius`) and name it `Settings`. You can copy your settings from the normal settings folder to this newly created folder.

Moving setting to another computer

It is possible to copy the settings folder from one computer to another. Read above to learn where the settings are stored on each computer, and then simply copy the files and/or folders!
