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.
 |
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 by 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, this can lead to DMXControl 2 producing error messages from the start. To resolve this issue, you will find the PluginAdministrator in the tool folder. Open this and all Plugins must this become angehakt once in this. Once this is done no more error messages will appear during startup.
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.
