Where does VLC installer download?

Answered by Frank Schwing

When you download the VLC Media Player installer for Windows, the default location for the download is usually set to the Downloads folder. This is the default location for most web browsers, as it is convenient and easily accessible. However, you can choose a different location if you prefer.

To begin the installation process, locate the downloaded installer file in your Downloads folder or the location you specified. The file will typically have a name like “vlc-3.0.16-win64.exe” or something similar, depending on the version you downloaded.

Once you have located the installer file, simply double-click on it to launch the installation. Windows may ask for your permission to run the installer, so click “Yes” to proceed.

The installation wizard will then open and guide you through the installation process. You may be presented with some options to customize the installation, such as choosing the installation location or selecting additional components to install. It is generally recommended to leave these options at their default settings unless you have specific preferences or requirements.

After confirming your preferences, click on the “Install” button to begin the installation. The installer will then extract the necessary files and install VLC Media Player on your computer. This process usually takes just a few minutes.

Once the installation is complete, you will see a confirmation message. You can then click on the “Finish” button to close the installer.

At this point, VLC Media Player is installed on your Windows computer and ready to use. You can find the program by searching for “VLC” in the Start menu or by navigating to the installation location, which is typically in the “Program Files” or “Program Files (x86)” folder on your system drive.

The VLC Media Player installer for Windows downloads to the default location, which is usually the Downloads folder. From there, you can double-click on the installer file to launch the installation process and follow the prompts to install VLC Media Player on your computer.
