### 3. Run The Setup:

Upon initiating the setup, a black command window will appear. This window is preparing the SweatPlay launcher, a process that should only take a few seconds, as illustrated in image H. After this brief setup period, the SweatPlay Launcher will automatically launch, and its shortcut will be created on your desktop for easy access.

With the SweatPlay launcher up and running, proceed by clicking on "install." Now, patience is key; allow the installation process to fully complete without interruption, as shown in image I. Following these steps will ensure SweatPlay is correctly installed and ready for use on your system.
