    Once setupdation is complete you can always administrate it, incase you forgot to do something during setupdation.

    According to the OED - 'set-up' is the noun, 'set up' the verb.

    I use setup as the noun though.

    At least you leave .exe off the end.

    I call it setup or taken for a mug, depending on the context.

    Just curious

    Before I got involved in IT I would have written 'set up', where needed. Now I invariably spell it 'setup'.

    How do you spell it / use it? Is this peculiar to IT or is it related to US English versus English?
