2 Setup & Installation
This section describes the steps for installing DPhyDecoderCtl on the host computer,
which should be a Windows machine running Windows XP or Windows 7 (32-bit or 64bit). As DPhyDecoderCtl is memory and processing intensive, the computer should have
a fast processor and lots of memory (at least 4 GB are recommended).
To install DPhyDecoderCtl, simply execute the setup.exe file provided and step through
the installation windows. The DPhyDecoderCtl application is installed by default in the
c:\Program Files\TMPC\DPhyDecoderCtl directory.
One requirement for running the DPhyDecoderCtl application is the Microsoft .NET
Framework 3.5 platform. You can check if .NET 3.5 is installed through Start>Settings->Control Panel and double-clicking "Add or Remove Programs". Scroll
through the list of applications for "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5".
If you are installing from an installation CD provided by The Moving Pixel Company,
Microsoft .NET 3.5 will be installed automatically (if necessary). On the other hand, if
you are running the application installation from a setup file downloaded from our
website or received via email, the setup files for installing .NET 3.5 will not be present.
In this case, running the setup.exe on a machine without .NET 3.5 installed will appear to
begin .NET installation (asking the user to accept supplemental license terms), but then
will subsequently report an error installing system components. If this occurs, the user
should close the error report and manually install .NET 3.5.
To install Microsoft .NET 3.5 (without an installation CD from The Moving Pixel
Company) your computer must be connected to the internet. The following is a link to
the installation executable (note: this file is over 200 MB):

2.1 Installing License Key
DPhyDecodeCtl requires a license key file to be installed to operate. The license key file
is a text file called TMPCLicense.txt and is provided by the Moving Pixel Company on
purchase. This file contains license strings enabling operation based on the serial number
of the DPhy Decoder instrument. To enable multiple instruments on the same machine,
the license file will contain multiple strings. After software installation, please copy your
TMPCLicense.txt file to the application directory, by default:
C:\Program Files\TMPC\DPhyDecoder (32-bit machines)
C:\Program Files (x86)\TMPC\DPhyDecoder (64-bit machines)
