##Installation Options
VECTO is distributed as a portable application. This means you can simply unzip the archive and directly execute it. This, however, requires write and execute permissions for the VECTO application directory.
In case you do not have execute permissions, please ask your system administrator to install VECTO into an appropriate directory (e.g. under `C:\Program Files`). Installing VECTO requires the following two steps:
+ copy the VECTO directory and all its files and subdirectories to the appropriate location
+ edit the file `install.ini` and remove the comment character (#) in the line containing `ExecutionMode = install`
If the ExecutionMode is set to `install` (this is also possible when running VECTO from an arbitrary directory), VECTO does not write its configuration files and log files to the application directory but to the directories `%APPDATA%` and `%LOCALAPPDATA%` (usually `C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming` and `C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local`).
**Important:** If the ExecutionMode is set to `install` it is necessary that you copy the generic VECTO models distributed with VECTO to a location where you have write permissions as VECTO writes the results to the same directory as the job file.
