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.


  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.


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 "C:\Users\[Username]\Dokumente\DMXControl-Projekte" any more, under 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.
