## Troubleshooting
Your installation aborts and the window closes suddenly
- Create the `C:\Programs` folder by yourself.
- If your installation aborts a good first guess is always to restart your pc (because temp folders might be cleaned after a restart)
- If the restart does not help, close your installation window (if still opened), go to `C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Temp` and delete all folders beginning with *_M*. Afterwards execute the installer again.

When you fullfil all the [requirements](requirements.md), you can download and install the workflow with the current [:material-download: UNICADO installer](). This [standalone workflow tutorial](../tutorials/standalone.md) will show you in a video how this will look like.
