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 utilities 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;">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 1.0.3 in <span style="font-weight: bold;">d:\bin\</span>, then you would modify PATH to be "%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;d:\bin\Argyll_V1.0.0\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 libusbw directory.<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 USB drivers may need to be installed:<br> <br> <span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;">Fresh Install of USB drivers:</span><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.

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> <br> <span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;">Updating Argyll drivers:</span></span><br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE</span> that 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-win32 system driver and dll.
