# Visual Modeler 2.0 Installation Information

The Visual Modeler 2.0 Setup wizard automatically installs the Visual Modeler executable and related files on your computer.

Note: On Windows NT, the installation is always done as a `personal` (as opposed to `common`) one, whether or not you have administrator privileges.

## Visual Modeler Folder

The Setup wizard decompresses files from the Visual Modeler release media and copies them to a folder on your hard disk. This folder is referred to as your Visual Modeler folder throughout this guide. The Setup wizard will suggest a location for the folder, but you can specify a different location.

## Program-Item Icons

In Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, the Setup wizard creates a folder in the Windows `Start Menu\Programs` folder and populates it with program-item icons. You can then start Visual Modeler by choosing it from the taskbar's `Start` > `Programs` menu.

The Setup wizard creates program-item icons for:

- Frequently Asked Questions
- Microsoft Visual Modeler
- Quick Start Help
- Visual Modeler 2.0 Help
- Visual Modeler 2.0 Release Note

## Initialization File

The Setup wizard creates a `rose.ini` file in your Windows folder.

## Log File

The Setup wizard logs installation progress to a file named `install.log` that it creates in your Visual Modeler folder. In case you encounter a problem with the installation, this file may provide information to help diagnose the problem.

## Removing the Visual Modeler 2.0 Release

In Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, you can remove this release by going to the Windows Control Panel and choosing `Add/Remove Programs` and choosing Microsoft Visual Modeler from the displayed list of programs.

Note that in Windows NT 4.0, the uninstallation information for Visual Modeler is stored in the registry as `personal` (as opposed to `common`) information. Thus, it will be visible to only the user who installed Visual Modeler.
