# Build Type

This is important as it will determine SetupS's basic operations and also what options and utilities will be available.

Status: Required.

- ssApp: (s)ilent (s)etup (App)lication. Typically involving the application's own installer or some type of setup software to install both the application and its shortcuts. SetupS's role in all this is to make it as unattended (silent) as possible.
- ppApp: (p)ermanent & (p)ortable (App)lication. These are applications that do not need to be installed -- they do however, require re-initializing which basically restores the shortcuts to the start menu, adds any required registry entries, file associations, and system files. Although not true portables in the strictest sense, after they have been processed by SetupS, they are nearly indistinguishable from their ssApp brethren.
- ppGame: (p)ermanent & (p)ortable (Game). A special kind of ppApp but with its own separate install folders and/or locations.
- ppTweak: (p)ermanent & (p)ortable (Tweak). This is a special kind ppApp but no shortcuts are created.
