Setup.exe is the most common file name associated with application installs.
Files with the EXE extension are executable program files. Opening these files usually results in the launching of either a stand-alone application or an installation program. Typically, files named "setup.exe" are designed to install an application on a Windows-based PC. Files with the EXE extension will not open properly on Macintosh or Linux-based operating systems.
