Installing CrystalControl2
|
As CrystalControl2 runs as an NT Service, it must be installed by a user with Administrative rights. Once CrystalControl2 is installed, it can be used by normal "Limited" users on the PC.
|
Before you begin installing CrystalControl2, it is advisable that you close all other applications and media software (especially Winamp and Foobar2000) otherwise parts of the installation process may fail. |
|
|
Installation of CrystalControl2 is a quite simple process, see the steps below.
|
If you already have CrystalControl2 installed, and would like to install a newer version, simply install over the top of the previous version. All old settings will be kept. |
|
|
After running the CrystalControl2 installation file with the name of "cc2setup_#version#.exe", you will be greeted with the installer introduction screen... |
|
Click the "Next" button to continue. |
|
|
The next screen will display the normal disclaimer information you are meant to read (but never do). |
|
Click the "I Agree" button to continue. |
|
|
Next you'll need to specify where you would like to install CrystalControl2. Unless you want to install CrystalControl2 somewhere else, the default directory will be fine. |
|
Click the "Next" button when you are happy with the location. |
|
|
The installer will create a folder in your start menu for quick access to CrystalControl2 and related files. The displayed dialog box, will allow you to change the name and location of that folder. |
For the majority of people, the default settings will be fine. |
|
Click "Install" to continue. |
|
|
The installer will now proceed, installing the files required for CrystalControl2. Part way through this process, the installer will ask for the location of Foobar2000's components directory. |
If you do use Foobar2000, browse to the directory where Foobar2000 is installed, and select the "components" directory like in the example image below. |
If you do not use Foobar2000 (its a free music player, similar to Winamp), click the "Cancel" button. A message will be displayed giving instructions on installing this plugin manually in the future.
|
|
If you do wish to install the Foobar2000 plugin, click "Ok", otherwise click "Cancel". |
|
|
This step is similar to the last, but for Winamp instead. |
If you use Winamp, browse to the directory where Winamp is installed, and select the "plugins" directory like in the example image below. |
Note: The CrystalControl2 Winamp plugin will only work with Winamp versions 2.xx and 5.xx. |
|
If you do wish to install the Winamp plugin, click "Ok", otherwise click "Cancel". |
|
|
The remaining files will now be installed. |
|
When it has finished, you can click the "Close" button. |
The installer will now ask you if you would like to reboot the computer. A reboot of the computer is required to complete the installation of CrystalControl2. |
|
All done. |
