# Testing and Deploying to your users

## Deploy the Launcher to your users

Just compress as **ZIP** the **Last Version** from *<mark style="color:yellow;">**PatchManager/Launcher Workspace/Versions/**</mark>*

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/u5tlCmu4eLEoxl3wt0sw" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

And give the **ZIP** file to your users!\
![](/files/LtDSOnBLXoOu4eEmAUat)

{% hint style="danger" %}
**NEVER OPEN THE LAUNCHER IN THE VERSIONS FOLDER.**&#x20;

And if you already do it...

Make sure your Version folder (Example 1.0.0) looks like this:![](/files/DEmiCC7Zro5FLLARinUL)&#x20;

1 folder and two files. **Delete** any other files because they will cause conflict.
