Our custom installation process for the infrastructure agent for Windows allows you to tailor all aspects of the installation, and place files and folders wherever you want on your filesystem.
Our custom installation process for the infrastructure agent for Windows allows you to tailor all aspects of the installation. You can place files and folders wherever you want on your filesystem.

This method gives you **full control** of the installation: **you are responsible** for placing the files in the correct folders, providing the correct configuration values, and ensuring the agent has all the right permissions.

As of [version 1.4.0](/docs/release-notes/infrastructure-release-notes/infrastructure-agent-release-notes/new-relic-infrastructure-agent-140), the infrastructure agent package includes the additional `newrelic-infra-ctl` binary, which is used to help troubleshoot a running agent. Although this binary is not required to execute the agent, we recommend to add it in your path.

## Configuration file [#change-config-file]

The Infrastructure agent depends on a configuration file, usually named `newrelic-infra.yml`, placed in the same folder with the agent, to configure the agent's behavior. You can create a new config file based on [config file template](/docs/infrastructure/new-relic-infrastructure/configuration/infrastructure-config-file-template-newrelic-infrayml). For more information, see how to [configure the agent](/docs/infrastructure/new-relic-infrastructure/configuration/configure-infrastructure-agent).

## Configure the plugin directory [#configure-plugin]

The Infrastructure agent allows you to install [integrations](/docs/integrations) that monitor and report data from popular services such as Kubernetes, AWS, MySQL, Redis, Kafka, etc. Each integration has its own configuration file, named by default `integration-name-config.yml`, placed in the predefined location `C:\Program Files\New Relic\newrelic-infra\integrations.d`. On initialization, the agent loads the config file.
