<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 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->ControlPanel->System->Advanced->EnvironmentVariables<br>
<br>
For <span style="font-weight: bold;">NT 4</span> look in<br>
Start->Settings->ControlPanel->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
1.1.0 in <span style="font-weight: bold;">d:\bin\</span>, then you
would modify PATH to be
"%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;d:\bin\Argyll_V1.1.0\bin". 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 libusb1
directory.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE: </span><span
style="font-weight: bold;">Vista 64/Windows 7 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.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE: The Colorimètre HCFR</span>
can't be installed Windows 7 64 (It's USB hardware behaves rather
strangely).<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>
Note also that 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>

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

appears as an HID (USB Human Interface Device Class) device, and
hence will be assigned to the default MSWindows HID driver, rather
than popping a "New Hardware" dialog. You normally <span

to install an Argyll <span style="font-weight: bold;">libusb1</span>

[ The alternative to switching to the Argyll drivers is to go to the
libusb-win32 web site, and download and then install the "filter
drivers", - see
<http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net./#downloads>. This may
then let you access the device using Argyll, without disabling
access by existing applications. (I haven't tried this, so I'm not
sure how well it works). You don't make use of the Argyll <span
style="font-weight: bold;">.inf</span> file using this approach. <br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE</span> that a potential
problem with this approach is that the filter drivers haven't been
modified to have a longer USB control transaction timeout, and this
may cause failures for certain instruments when measuring dark
colors.]<br>

style="font-weight: bold;">Updating Argyll drivers:</span></span></span><br>
<br>
If you are updating to a new version of Argyll, that it may be
necessary to uninstall all the Argyll USB devices, and re-install
them, to update the relevant libusb system driver and dll. (This is
true for updating to Argyll Version 1.2.0). If the device does not
appear as an "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Argyll LibUsb-1.0
device</span>" in the device manager, then you will have to remove
old drivers before installing the new ones, to avoid MSWindows
simply re-installing the old drivers.<br>
<br>
<a name="V_UD"></a>In <span style="font-weight: bold;">Vista/Win 7</span><br>
Plug an instrument that has been installed into the computer.<br>
Right click on the "Computer" item in the Start menu and

Click on "Device Manager"<br>
Locate the device under "LibUSB-Win32 Device"<br>
Right click on the device and choose "Uninstall"<br>
In the "Confirm Device Removal" window select the "<span
