With Windows sight Microsoft has introduced the so-called user accounts control system by which all programs practically per default work with restricted rights unless the user particularly agrees to extended rights (administrator rights). Since DMXControl 2 executes actions when starting and ending which need administrator rights, it can get to error messages from DMXC at the start. To nevertheless make possible a starting, there is the PluginAdministrator in the tool folder. Open and all Plugins must this become angehakt once in this. Through this no more error message appears at the start.

Overview

The following steps describe how to install DMXControl 2. This covers the standard installation. You will find the current Installer in the download area of the home page of DMXControl[1]
DMXControl also supports sound to Light control and to use this function the MP3 player Winamp must be installed on the computer.


  Important hint If Winamp isn't installed, the two communication files DMXControl.ape and DMXControl.avs are copied into the DMXControl contents directory. If Winamp should be installed, then the two files are copied at the installation into the Winamp Plugin list. If Winamp is installed afterwards, these two files must be copied by Winamp into the Plugin list.


Users of Windows Vista

For Operating Systems after XP, Microsoft made some changes in their subsequent operating systems which which will influence DMXControl's operation.

User accounts control system

With Windows Vista, Microsoft introduced their 'User Accounts Control System' by which nearly all programs work with restricted rights by default, unless the user particularly agrees to extended rights (Administrator Rights). Since DMXControl 2 executes actions when starting and ending which need administrator rights, this can lead to DMXControl 2 producing error messages during startup. To resolve this issue, use the file PluginAdministrator.exe, located in the main DMXControl installation folder and use this to view the plugins, check all plugin-entries, once this is done no more error messages will appear during start-up.

Changed folder structure

Since Windows Vista the folder structure in comparison with Windows XP is also different. Now the DMXControl projects are not stored by default in the DMXControl tool folder, "C:\Users\[Username]\Dokuments\DMXControl-Projekte". To deal with this, both the paths for Windows XP and Windows Vista are therefore referenced in this manual.

Installation step by step

The following screenshots describe the installation process step by step.

Language

The installation assistant starts directly with the choice of the installation language. The dialog is preselected to the language set as your default language in the operating system.

The end-user license is shown on the license dialog by DMXControl in two languages. Into this you are requested to accept the terms of the license. Among other things the licence describes what you can and cannot do as a user of the software. You must accept the license agreement by a clicking on the button « Accept ». By agreeing to these terms you accept the legal rules even though this is free software.


Install EasyView?

Once the license agreement the question is accepted, you are asked if the 3D-Visualizer Magic EasyView shall be installed? The Visualizer is a very useful tool where one prepares the shows and layouts of the stage. xxxxxx ??? About as much 3D energy as this one the Dektop at home has, can't be renounced the 3D representation also safely on the live laptop computer.xxxxx???


Destination directory

At the next step you select the target installation directory that DMXControl 2 will use. The default path is already suggested and, if you don't have any special requirements, use this one safely. The suggested directory will vary depending on the operating system, version and language. Under a German 32 bit Windows (XP, Vista, 7) it is the suggestion "C:\Programme\DMXControl" and at the English 32 bit version is "C:\Program Files". At a 64 bit Windows the suggestions are, however "C:\Programme (x86)" or "C:\Program Files (X86)".
