<h1> <u>Installing the software on Microsoft Windows<br>
</u></h1>
<h3 style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span
style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">Unpacking the .zip archive:</span></h3>
You will need to unzip the downloaded file in the location you have
chosen to hold the executable files (perhaps somewhere like <span
style="font-weight: bold;">\bin</span>). I would <span
style="font-weight: bold;">NOT</span> put them in <span
style="font-style: italic;">\Program Files</span>, 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
<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span> top level directory <span
style="font-weight: bold;">Argyll_VX.X.X</span>, where X.X.X is
the version number, and the executables will be in <span
style="font-weight: bold;">Argyll_VX.X.X\bin</span>.
<h3><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">Making the tools
accessible:</span></h3>
You should also configure your %PATH% environment variable to give
access to the executables from your command line environment.<br>
<br>
For <span style="font-weight: bold;">Windows 8</span>, look in<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>Desktop
-> Settings -> Control Panel -> System And Security ->
System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables<br>
<br>
For <span style="font-weight: bold;">Windows 7</span>, look in<br>
Start Menu -> Control Panel -> System And
Security -> System -> Change Settings -> Advanced ->
Environment Variables<br>
<br>
For <span style="font-weight: bold;">Vista</span>, look in<br>
Start Menu -> Control Panel -> System And
Maintenance -> System -> Change Settings -> Advanced ->
Environment Variables<br>
<br>
For <span style="font-weight: bold;">XP and 2000 </span>look in<br>
Start->Settings->Control
Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables<br>
<br>
For <span style="font-weight: bold;">NT 4</span> look in<br>
Start->Settings->Control
Panel->System->Environment<br>
<br>
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 ';'. <br>
<br>
So if the current value of PATH is
"%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%" and you unpacked Argyll version
1.5.1 in <span style="font-weight: bold;">d:\bin\</span>, 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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE: </span><span
style="font-weight: bold;">Vista 64/Windows 7 & 8 64 bit</span>
and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Beep</span> prompt<span
style="font-weight: bold;">: </span>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 <a href="chartread.html">chartread</a>, now you
know.<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE: Microsofts generic VGA Driver</span>
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.<br>
<br>
<hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"><br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE</span> that if you wish to use
Argyll tools (<a href="dispwin.html">dispwin</a>) to control display
calibration, that you will have to disable any other calibration
loader programs.<br>
<br>
There are other programs that will interfere with calibration
loading, such as igfxpers.exe that gets installed with nVidia
"Optimus" technology.<br>
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).<br>
<br>
A good tool for this is <a
href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902">AutoRuns</a>.
Note that the igfxpph module may exist in several locations and you
have to disable all of them. Reboot after changing settings.<br>
<br>

<h3><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">Serial Instruments:</span><br>
</h3>
If you are using a serial connected instrument, then there is
nothing special to do to enable this.<br>
<h3><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">USB Instruments:</span></h3>
If you are using a USB connected instrument, then suitable <span
style="font-weight: bold;">USB drivers</span> may need to be
installed.<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br>
</span>Note that the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Huey</span>
and <span style="font-weight: bold;">i1 Display Pro</span> and <span
style="font-weight: bold;">ColorMunki Display</span> colorimeter
appears as an HID (USB Human Interface Device Class) device, and
hence will be assigned to the default MSWindows HID driver. You
therefore <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration:
underline;">don't need</span> to install an Argyll <span
style="font-weight: bold;">usb</span> driver for these
instruments, although it is possible to select the libusb0.sys
driver as an alternative to the default HID driver.<br>

<br>
</span>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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">To install the Argyll
driver for the first instrument:</span><br>
Settings -> Power -> <span
style="font-weight: bold;">Hold Shift Key down and click</span>
