C install-binary.xml

## Windows

The system is delivered as a Windows Installer executable. Get it from http://www.erlang.org/download.html

### Installing

The installation procedure is automated. Double-click the .exe file icon and follow the instructions.

### Verifying

Start Erlang/OTP by double-clicking on the Erlang shortcut icon on the desktop.

Expect a command-line window to pop up with an output looking something like this:

      Erlang/OTP 17 [erts-6.0] [64-bit] [smp:2:2]

      Eshell V6.0  (abort with ^G)
      1>

Exit by entering the command halt().

      2> halt().

This closes the Erlang/OTP shell.
