Installing the software on Microsoft Windows
+

+

Unpacking the .zip archive:

+ You will need to unzip the downloaded file in the location you have + chosen to hold the executable files (perhaps somewhere like \bin). I would NOT put them in \Program Files, since spaces in + directory or file names and command line environments are a very bad + mix, and will cause you endless problems. The archive will create a + top level directory Argyll_VX.X.X, where X.X.X is + the version number, and the executables will be in Argyll_VX.X.X\bin. +

Making the tools + accessible:

+ You should also configure your %PATH% environment variable to give + access to the executables from your command line environment.
+
+ For Windows 8, look in
+     Desktop + -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System And Security -> + System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables
+
+ For Windows 7, look in
+     Start Menu -> Control Panel -> System And + Security -> System -> Change Settings -> Advanced -> + Environment Variables
+
+ For Vista, look in
+     Start Menu -> Control Panel -> System And + Maintenance -> System -> Change Settings -> Advanced -> + Environment Variables
+
+ For XP and 2000 look in
+     Start->Settings->Control + Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables
+
+ For NT 4 look in
+     Start->Settings->Control + Panel->System->Environment
+
+ You want to add the directory you've chosen to your %PATH%, which is + a System Variable. Normally you would add this to the end of the + current setting, separated by a ';'. 
+
+  So if the current value of PATH is + "%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%" and you unpacked Argyll version + 1.5.1 in d:\bin\, then you + would modify PATH to be + "%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;d:\bin\Argyll_V1.5.1\bin", - + i.e. you append the path to the Argyll binaries to your PATH, + separated by the ';' character. The change will take effect when you + start a new command shell, which you start from Start + Menu->Accessories->Command Prompt, or Start + Menu->Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt. You can check + that the environment variable has been set by running the command + "echo %PATH%" in the command shell.
+
+ The .zip file also contains several useful reference files (such as + scanner chart recognition templates, sample illumination spectrum + etc.) in the ref sub-directory, all the current documentation in a + doc sub-directory, and instrument USB drivers in the usb directory.
+
+ NOTE: Vista 64/Windows 7 & 8  64 bit + and Beep prompt: Microsoft (in its infinite + wisdom) has removed the built in speaker driver, and now relies on + systems having a sound card and speakers's installed and turned on + to hear system beeps. So if you're wondering where the beeps have + gone when using chartread, now you + know.
+
+ NOTE: Microsofts generic VGA Driver + does not appear to support setting the display VideoLUTs. You will + need to install a display driver for your specific display hardware + to enable this. Note that it is possible in many cases to use + Windows 7 video drivers on Windows 8 systems.
+
+

+ NOTE that if you wish to use + Argyll tools (dispwin) to control display + calibration, that you will have to disable any other calibration + loader programs.
+
+ There are other programs that will interfere with calibration + loading, such as igfxpers.exe that gets installed with nVidia + "Optimus" technology.
+ You may have to disable both the igfx tray module + (c:\windows\system32\igfxtray.exe) and the igfxpph Module + (c:\windows\system32\igfxpph.dll) in addition to the persistence + Module (c:\windows\system32\igfxpers.exe).
+
+ A good tool for this is AutoRuns. + Note that the igfxpph module may exist in several locations and you + have to disable all of them. Reboot after changing settings.
+
+
+

Serial Instruments:
+

+ If you are using a serial connected instrument, then there is + nothing special to do to enable this.
+

USB Instruments:

+ If you are using a USB connected instrument, then suitable USB drivers may need to be + installed.
+
+ Note that the Huey + and i1 Display Pro and ColorMunki Display colorimeter + appears as an HID (USB Human Interface Device Class) device, and + hence will be assigned to the default MSWindows HID driver. You + therefore don't need to install an Argyll usb driver for these + instruments, although it is possible to select the libusb0.sys + driver as an alternative to the default HID driver.
+
+ Jump to your operating system version:
+
+ Windows 8
+ Windows 7
+ Windows Vista
+ Windows XP
+ Windows 2000
+
+
Windows 8
+
+ Fresh Install of Instrument USB driver:
+
+ If you currently don't have any applications that talk to + your instrument using USB, then it is relatively simple to use the + drivers provided with Argyll, since you don't have to deal with the + instrument already having an assigned driver.
+
+ Windows 8 does not automatically pop up a "New Hardware" dialog, so + you will have to open the Device Manager manually, and you will also + have to temporarily disable UBS driver .inf signature enforcement.
+
+ To install the Argyll + driver for the first instrument:
+     Settings -> Power -> Hold Shift Key down and click + "Restart" -> Troubleshoot -> Advanced Options -> Startup + Settings -> Restart ->
+     (After Reboot) -> "Disable Driver Signature + Enforcement" (number 7 on the list)
+     (After system starts, Plug in instrument)
+     Desktop -> Settings -> Control Panel -> + Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager ->
+     Other Devices -> <instrument being + installed> -> right click -> Update Driver Software... + -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Browse...
+     -> argyll\usb + folder -> Next -> Install this driver software anyway -> + Close
+
+ On subsequent installation + of other instrument types:
+     Simply plug the instrument in. The Argyll driver + will be automatically selected.
+
+
+ Adding + Argyll drivers to existing drivers:
+
+ If you currently have applications other than Argyll accessing your + USB connected instrument, then you will have to manually install the + Argyll driver, and then switch back and forth between the Argyll and + other drivers if you want to switch between applications.
+
+ To install the Argyll + Driver:
+ Settings -> Power -> Hold + Shift Key down and click "Restart" -> Troubleshoot -> + Advanced Options -> Startup Settings -> Restart ->
+     (After Reboot) -> Disable Driver Signature + Enforcement" (number 7 on the list)
+     (After system starts, Plug in instrument)
+     Desktop -> Settings -> Control Panel -> + Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
+     (Locate the instrument in the device list. It may + be underneath one of the top level items.)
+     Right click on instrument -> Update Driver + Software... -> let me pick from a list of device drivers on my + computer -> Have disk... -> Browse...
+     -> argyll\usb + folder -> select ArgyllCMS.inf -> Open -> OK -> Install + this driver software anyway -> Close
+
+ To switch between drivers:
+     (Plug in the instrument)
+     Desktop -> Settings -> Control Panel -> + Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
+     (Locate the instrument in the device list. It may + be underneath one of the top level items.)
+     Right click on instrument -> Update Driver + Software... -> let me pick from a list of device drivers on my + computer
+     (Choose either the Argyll driver or another + driver from the list)
+     -> Next -> Close
+
+ Un-installing Argyll driver:
+
+ If you are updating to a new version of Argyll, that it may be + necessary to uninstall all the existing Argyll USB driver, and do a + fresh re-install to update the relevant libusb system driver and + .inf file. (This is true for updating to Argyll Version 1.5.0).
+
+     (Plug in the instrument)
+     Desktop -> Settings -> Control Panel -> + Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
+     (Locate the instrument in the device list. It + will be underneath the Argyll LibUSB-win32 devices top level item.)
+     Right click on instrument -> Uninstall -> + click "Delete the driver software for this device" -> OK
+
+ Proceed then with either Fresh + Install of Argyll USB driver or Adding Argyll drivers to + existing drivers above.
