# Deploying on a Vision Controller

Once the application has been developed and the project is completed and ready for deployment, to launch the application automatically at start up of the vision controller, the project should be placed in the vision controller's Startup folder. The Startup folder is located with the AppData folder, which is hidden by default, and the location of the folder varies by user.

Note: Due to the differing locations of the AppData folder, if it is desired that the project launch on log on for both the "user" and "admin" accounts, the project must be placed in the Startup folder for each account.

To navigate to the folder on a vision controller, open Windows Explorer, and type in %AppData%, or use the Command Prompt to navigate to %AppData% (which points to C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming for the "user" account). For example, the default "user" account would be in: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Simply remove the Designer launcher and replace it with the project for deployment.
