HP DLA 2.5

Basic Installation Locations for HP DLA 2.5
Applicable to all supported OS platforms. (Win9x/ME, NT4, Win2k, and Windows XP)
There is really only one installation process though there are two products (the DLA read only file system and the DLA file system). The only difference between the file systems should be the PCONFIG and the registry settings. During installation, we install the basic file set and set up a few registry settings. Then we install the DLA drivers and again change a few registry settings. Each of these should be enumerated below. Note that a “???” in the file name indicates that this is a language specific file where “???” will be replaced with the installed language (“ENU” for English).
■Viewing disc properties: HP DLA shows you information about your media with a click of a button.
■Viewing disc contents: HP DLA uses the standard Windows Explorer screen to show you the contents of your disc.
