setup.exe
Windows program installer
Setup.exe is a Windows executable file that installs software on a computer.
When you download a program or insert installation media, setup.exe is typically the file you run to begin the installation process.
The filename has become so standard that users recognize it immediately as an installer, though this ubiquity also makes it a common disguise for malware.
Double-click setup.exe to begin installation.
