Install and remove apps
Everything Installer does with programs is done on the Applications tab: installing, updating, repairing and removing. An action is marked for a product in the list, and all the marked actions are performed at once.
Catalog
The list is split into two parts: Installed — what is already on this computer, and Available — what can be installed. If a part has nothing in it, Empty is shown instead.
The following help you find what you need:
- the Search field above the list — the list narrows as you type, and the cross next to it brings the whole list back;
- the funnel at the Available heading — a filter by product type; the All button clears it;
- the button with a circular arrow at the top left — Force check updates: it asks the store whether anything new has been released, without waiting for the next scheduled check.
An installed product shows its version in its row, and if a new version has been released, the Updates available label.
License agreement
At the bottom of the window is a check box with the consent and a link to the text of the agreement. Until it is accepted, the Continue button stays unavailable, whatever is marked. The consent is accepted once and on the server side — after that, the check box is no longer shown, and it cannot be cleared back.
What to do with a product
Each row has a set of buttons on the right, of which one is selected. Which of them are present depends on the product:
| Button | When available | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Install | the product is not installed | installs it |
| Update | installed, and a new version has been released | updates it |
| Repair | installed | installs it again on top, without touching the settings |
| Delete | installed | removes it |
| Skip | always | does nothing with this product |
A product that is not installed has a single choice — to install it:
An installed one has repair:
and removal:
The Continue button at the bottom right becomes active as soon as at least one action is marked. You can mark several products at once — for example, update one and remove another. When everything is marked, click Continue at the bottom right.
Wizard
Next, the window shows a three-step wizard instead of the list.
Applications — what exactly will be done. Check the list and click Continue.
Install options
Each action has its own settings here:
- Application install folder — selected with a button. IMPORTANT! The folder must be empty.
- Version and Recipient — which version is installed and for whom.
- Shortcut — create a shortcut on the desktop.
- Remove the application data folder — only when removing: delete the program's settings and downloaded data together with it. Without this check box, they remain.
- Plugins — for programs that support them: which connectors to install together with the product.
- Install main application parameters — for a product with plugins, you can clear this check box and work only with the plugins, without touching the program itself.
Click Next.
Following actions will be executed — the last check. Click Execute.
While the work is in progress, In progress. Please wait... is shown, and when it is finished, Done. The Close button returns to the list; Back at any step leads to the previous one.
If something has failed, the error text is shown right in the wizard, and the details are on the Logs page.
