For many novice users installing SickChill on a Windows machine can be confusing.
Therefore we have created a Windows installer to simplify the process. This installer will download all the necessary files and automatically install them for you.
It also will take care of creating a service, so that SickChill will automatically start with Windows.
Both x32 and x64 bit installations are supported and automatically recognized.

## Network drive mappings

The installer uses a service (account) to run SickChill automatically on startup. This is a different account than your Windows user account witch you use to login to Windows. Meaning that any network drive mappings are not existing for that (service) account and need to be created.

You can manually change the account from the command prompt (administrative rights) with the below commands. :

If you are unable to get those setup correctly, you can always disable the service and start SickChill manually. SickChill will then run as the user that is logged in to Windows. Alternatively you can also install SickChill [manually](https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill/wiki/SickChill-Windows-Installer#manual-installation-guides-for-windows)
