Install on Windows

To install a Soggy Dog app, download its installer from the Download page, open it, and click through. It takes a few minutes, needs no administrator rights, and puts the app on your desktop and in the Start menu.

How do I install an app?

1. Go to the Download page and click the button for Fetch, Hunter or Kibble. The installer (for example FetchSetup.exe) lands in your Downloads folder.
2. Double-click the installer.
3. Click Install. The installer downloads the parts the app needs, then sets everything up. You’ll see each step tick off.
4. When it says the app is installed, leave Open now checked and click Finish.

The app opens with a short setup guide, starring a dog. See First-time setup for what it asks.

How big is each download, and how long does it take?

App	Downloads during install	Typical time
Fetch	About 1 GB, or about 3.5 GB with an NVIDIA graphics card	5 to 20 minutes
Hunter	About 400 MB	3 to 10 minutes
Kibble	About 300 MB (about 900 MB once set up)	2 to 5 minutes

Times assume a good internet connection. A slow connection just means a longer coffee break.

What if Windows shows a warning?

If you see a blue box that says Windows protected your PC, click More info, check that the publisher is Soggy Dog Studios, then click Run anyway. Windows shows this for apps it hasn’t seen many times yet.

What if the install stops partway?

The installer shows what went wrong in red and offers Try again. Most failures are a dropped internet connection, so check yours and retry. The full details go into an install.log file in the app’s folder, which is handy if you contact support.

Can I install more than one app?

Yes. Fetch, Hunter and Kibble install separately and happily share a computer. Hunter can even read your Fetch meetings for interview stories (see Prep for interviews with your Fetch notes).
