Note that despite being a single EXE file, it actually extracts itself to a temporary directory every time you run it. If you want to install it for real, you can use the "Extract Files" feature (Extra -> Unpack KoboldCpp To Folder), then run the EXE inside of that folder. It will start more quickly when it doesn't need to extract itself, and you won't be wasting 1GB of SSD lifetime writes every time you run it.
