Overview
The following steps describe an installation of DMXControl 2. This is the standard installation. One finds the current Installer in the download area of the home page of DMXControl[1]
Since DMXControl also supports sound to Light control, the MP3 player Winamp must if this function shall be used 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.

Use as of Windows Vista
Since Windows XP, Microsoft has carried out some changes in the system which influence DMXControl's operation.
User accounts control system
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.
Changed folder structure
Since Windows sight the folder structure in comparison with Windows XP is also different. Not but are now the DMXControl projects be stored per default in the DMXControl tool folder any more, under "C:\Users\[Username]\Dokuments\DMXControl-Projekte" to find. To increase the comprehensibility, both the paths for Windows XP and Windows-Versionan for everyone after the following are given to all places in the following manual.
Installation step by step
The following screenshots describe the installation process step by step. The one or other steps can do something depending on operating system and its language of the pointed here differ.

The Visualizer is a very useful tool on the home job where one prepares the shows and feigns the stage.

The default path is already suggested there and, if one doesn't have any special needs, one can use this one safely. The suggestion varies here depending on Betriebsystem, version and speech. Under a German 32 bit Windows (XP, sight, 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)".

Nun geht es an die Detailauswahl der Installation. Bei der Standardinstallation sind alle Features ausgewählt und man kann direkt zum nächsten Schritt übergehen. Möchte man jedoch eine abgespeckte Installation auf einem anderen System vornehmen, kann man hier gewisse Features weg lassen, indem die Markierung entfernt wird. Da DMXControl 2 nicht sehr viel Speicherplatz auf der Festplatte braucht, ist die einfachste Variante die Komplettinstallation.
