4.2.Installing VDRView

You will find VDRView on the VR-N100U Companion CD. It is intended for the user to install it on your workstation that meets the above system requirements.

1.Load the VR-N100U Companion CD in the CD/DVD drive on the workstation. Follow the instructions on the CD label. The CD will autoload. If the CD does not autoload, launch VDRView.exe to manually install and go to step 3.

2.From the Companion CD Main Menu, select the Install VDRView option.

3.When the Setup Wizard appears, follow the instructions on each screen.

You will be prompted to provide a destination location and a Program Folder for the utilities. The default location is the Program Files\VDRView folder on your local hard drive. After the files are loaded to the specified destination location, a prompt appears asking if you want to create a shortcut icon on the desktop for VDRView.

4.Click on the Yes button if you want to create the icon. Click on the No button if you don’t.

5.The Setup Wizard completes the installation. The final screen offers you the option of restarting your system now, or at a later time. System-level DLLs are installed with VDRView. They will not be activated until your workstation is restarted. Make your selection and click on the Finish button. (If you are reinstalling VDRView, you may not be prompted to reboot.)

You are returned to the Companion CD menu screen. The View Readme File option contains last minute information on VDRView and the other VR-N100U Companion CD options listed on the Main Menu.

6.If you haven’t already done so, remove the VR-N100U Companion CD from your CD/DVD drive. That’s all there is to installing VDRView. You’ll see that using it is just as easy.
