Windows Notes
=============

Exaile has official support for Microsoft Windows, and is distributed in an
official installer program.

Exaile (and its installer) has been tested on Windows 10.

Running Exaile
--------------

If you installed Exaile using the Windows installer, you can find a shortcut to
launch Exaile in the Start Menu.

Alternatively, you can directly launch "exaile_win.py" in the source directory.
This requires you to have an MSYS2 environment set up.


Bug Reporting
-------------

If Exaile crashes, you should be able to find a logfile from the last time
Exaile was launched in the following directories:

* Windows XP: ``%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\exaile\logs``
* Windows 7+: ``%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\exaile\logs``

If you run into any bugs not mentioned in this document, please report them
to us via `GitHub <https://github.com/exaile/exaile/issues>`_. Please include any
relevant logfile snippets.
