Installation

Install FriskyMouse from the Microsoft Store, with the direct-download installer, or as a portable app. The Microsoft Store version is the recommended option.

Microsoft Store

The Store version updates automatically through the Microsoft Store.

1. Open the Microsoft Store app and search for FriskyMouse.
2. Select Get or Install.
3. Once installed, launch FriskyMouse from the Start menu.

Note

The Store version is framework-dependent and requires the .NET Desktop Runtime. Windows will install it automatically if needed.

Direct Download

The direct-download build is self-contained: it bundles the .NET runtime, so you do not need to install anything else. It checks for new versions and shows a message on the Home page when one is available, but it does not update itself.

1. Download the latest .exe installer from the Download page.
2. Run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts.
3. Launch FriskyMouse from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.

Portable

The portable version runs without installation.

1. Download the portable .zip from the Download page.
2. Extract the archive to any folder.
3. Run FriskyMouse.exe directly.

Tip

Portable mode stores all settings next to the executable, so you can run it from a USB drive. See Portable mode for details.
