New Options -> Install / Uninstall RemSound on this PC: a per-user self-installer (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\RemSound, no admin) with optional desktop + Start-menu shortcuts, login auto-start (reuses StartupAutoStart), Windows Installed-apps registration, and copy-across of profiles+config, recordings and logs. Install state is decided by a marker file, not a folder-path guess; the post-install relaunch hands over foreground via AllowSetForegroundWindow so the installed copy comes to the front; uninstall uses a batch remover (no PowerShell) and confirms with two independent tick-boxes. All new dialogs use the house accessible controls (AccessibleCheckBox, Theme.Heading). Also: iOS (TestFlight) companion link alongside Android in README + manual; slimmed-down default cue WAVs; About/RELEASE_NOTES/manual updated; version -> 5.1.

# RemSound v5.1
|
||
|
||
Install RemSound as a proper Windows app — or keep running it portable, whichever you prefer.
|
||
|
||
## Install RemSound on this PC
|
||
|
||
A new **Options → Install RemSound on this PC** turns the copy you're running into a properly installed Windows app:
|
||
|
||
- It sets RemSound up on the **Start menu** (with the program, the manual and an uninstall shortcut), adds a **desktop shortcut**, and lists it in Windows' **Installed apps**.
|
||
- It installs into your own user area, so it **never asks for administrator rights** and only affects your account.
|
||
- A tick-box dialog lets you choose what to set up — desktop and Start-menu shortcuts, run at startup — and bring your **profiles and settings, recordings and logs** across from the copy you're running.
|
||
- When it's done it reopens from the installed location; everything carries on exactly as before, and RemSound still updates itself in place as usual.
|
||
|
||
Once it's installed, that same menu item becomes **Uninstall RemSound from this PC** (with matching entries in the Start menu and Windows' Installed apps). Uninstalling asks first, with two tick-boxes — **remove profiles, config and logs**, and **remove recordings** — both off by default, so your own files are kept unless you say otherwise.
|
||
|
||
You never *have* to install: running RemSound straight from the unzipped folder works exactly as it always has.
|
||
|
||
## Smaller download
|
||
|
||
The built-in cue sounds have been slimmed down, so RemSound is a smaller download and takes up less space.
|
||
|
||
## Compatibility
|
||
|
||
The over-the-network format is unchanged, so **v5.1 talks to v3.3 through v5.0** with no trouble — you don't have to update both ends at once. (Everyone still needs **v3.3 or newer**, where end-to-end encryption came in.)
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
1. Download `RemSound-v5.1.zip` from this release.
|
||
2. Close RemSound.
|
||
3. Extract the zip **over your existing RemSound folder**, overwriting program files when prompted. The zip is program files only — it won't touch your settings, profiles, logs or recordings.
|
||
4. Run `RemSound.exe`. (If you'd like it set up as a proper Windows app, use **Options → Install RemSound on this PC**.)
|
||
|
||
## Upgrading
|
||
|
||
**From v3.6 or newer:** Help → Check for updates installs v5.1 with the in-app updater — and if it can't finish, it puts your old version back exactly as it was.
|
||
|
||
**From v1.9–v3.5:** Check for updates works, but uses your current version's older updater for this one hop. If auto-update has been failing on your machine, install by hand using the steps above.
|
||
|
||
**v1.8 and earlier:** the auto-updater in those versions can't install updates — install by hand using the steps above.
