Under Windows, Xentara uses the built-in Windows Installer system. Xentara, as well as all relevant plugins, are distributed as Windows Installer packages with the extension .msi. Double-click the installer package file to install Xentara.

The installer places a shortcut to Xentara into the Windows Start menu. This shortcut will start Xentara without command line options, loading the model file (see below) from the default location. The installer also places a shortcut to the Xentara licence ID generation tool into the Start menu.
