# nirsoft_installer [![Flattr this][flatter_png]][flatter]

Download and install most of the freeware applications available at
http://nirsoft.net.

nirsoft_installer looks in the directory where nirsoft_installer.exe is for
any files it needs before attempting to download them. If it does download a
file, it will attempt to save a copy of the file in this same directory.

nirsoft_installer adds the installation directory to your PATH environment variable.
On 32-bit systems, this directory is usually `C:\Program Files\NirSoft`.
On 64-bit systems, this directory is usually `C:\Program Files(x86)\NirSoft`.

If the program is a Windows GUI application, an icon is created in the
`C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Start Menu\Programs\NirSoft` directory.

Applications that require Windows 98, ME, or NT 4.0, are listed as such.

Note: you are responsible to verify that each program you install using
nirsoft_installer is designed to work in your environment.
If you are unsure, then please visit http://nirsoft.net for more information.
