Windows installation instruction
The desktop version of Manager needs to be manually updated by the windows user. In manager you can see your current version by following this guide
-
Download the current software from the Manager download page. The current version which you are about to download is shown just under the “Windows” label.
New versions are regularly released, sometimes several per day. When a major feature is added, it is typically listed on the Releases page. -
To install Manager double click on or run the downloaded file. Unlike most Windows installers it is set up to run as a normal not windows administrator user so no administrator password is required.

Click “Next”
Choose if you want to add a desk to shortcut then click “Next”
Choose the directory you install Manager in
It also defaults to installing in the windows users private (hidden) directory. As a result multiple versions on Manager can easily be installed on a Windows computer (it happens by default if you log into a different Windows user). During installation you can choose another installation directory the current Windows user has write permissions for. Manager will remember the installation directory chosen next time that windows user installs manager (by following the same procedure described here).
- If you want to install manager in “c:\Program Files (x86)” with most of the other Windows programs, you need to run the manager installer from a administrator command prompt as described here Windows Installation (not portable) - #6 by Patch Icons for installed short cuts link to files in the installing Windows user’s hidden directory. This can be manually fixed, and if done deleting the new menu items created with each install is efficient.
