Although the installation of PanelForge is designed to be as easy and intuitive as possible the following provides a detail description of it's nature.
Windows
Standard Installation
If you have already installed a previous version of ‘PanelForge’ it is required to be uninstalled before continuing.
To install on Windows load the installer executable for PanelForge and follow the simple on screen instructions:
- PanelForge-1_X_X-Win64.exe
The installer will install the following items:
- The PanelForge program directory (default into the Windows ‘ProgramFiles’ directory).
- A Shortcut to the PanelForge executable and uninstaller executable into the Windows Start Menu.
- Registry entries for PanelForge Project ‘pfz’ and Panel ‘pfn’ file format association.
- Registry entries for PanelForge Project and Panel file format icons for use in Windows Explorer.
- Registry entry for PanelForge uninstaller for use with the ‘Uninstall A Program’ Windows Control Panel.
Silent Command Line Installation
The above installer executable can also be used via the Windows Command Prompt without the display of graphical windows. This mode can be activated using ‘/s’ silent flag.
Portable Installation
For portable usage of PanelForge the compressed distribution of the PanelForge Program directory can be used:
- PanelForge-1_X_X-Win64.zip

Using this installation method for a permanent solution is not recommend as it will not provide the optimal experience with the Windows operating system.
