Installation/Uninstallation
Instead of the standard App Store installer, AutoDXF uses a custom installer. During installation, there aren't any specific options to set.
The product is by default installed to C:\Program Files\Basic\AutoDXF. Some settings files are also created in the user's app folder C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Basic\AutoDXF.
Uninstallation can be done in a standard Windows way using Control Panel > Remove Program.
