The primary executable is named BorderlandsAdvancedConfig.exe. The setup package generally installs about 130 files and is usually about 61.22 MB (64,196,217 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 64% of users of Borderlands come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Germany.
