c:\Program Files\Extron\FWLoader

(If the Extron and FWLoader folders do not yet exist in your Program Files folder, the installer creates them.)

4. Access the FWLoader.exe file via your desktop Start menu by making the following selections:

Start > All Programs > Extron Electronics > Firmware Loader >
