To setup UniPlot on a computer you can simply copy the complete UniPlot folder to a new location on the target computer, for example C:\Program Files\UniPlot Software\R2020 and start uniplot.exe. When UniPlot is started from the new location, three UniPlot Icons (in the Start menu, on the Desktop and in the Quick Launch menu bar) are created and all the necessary registry settings are saved in the system registry for the current user. You can find all keys that will be saved in the registry in the script\uniplot\post-install.ic file.
