Extract the release zip file or mount the floppy image and run

INSTALL.EXE
  • You'll be prompted for a directory to place Launch!
  • You can choose to exclude components from install.
    • Enter 1234567 to exclude everything-- for the lightest install with nothing but the menu (!.EXE).
  • You can choose to add Windows 3.x integration
  • Only the necessary files will be extracted and copied
  • You will be prompted for all changes to AUTOEXEC.BAT
    • FreeDOS will be detected automatically and FDAUTO.BAT used instead of AUTOEXEC.BAT throughout Launch!
  • The keyboard shortcut can be chosen
  • Your drive can be scanned and an initial menu built.
  • Simply reboot after install and you're ready to go.

Tip

If you already have Launch! installed, choose the same directory and an upgrade will be performed keeping your existing configuration and menu in-tact.
