Installing DyKnow on Your Home Computer

Prerequisites
*256 MB RAM
*Windows XP, XP Tablet PC Ed., or equivalent emulator
*Internet connection

DyKnow runs on most Windows-based computers, as well as on Macintosh computers running Windows emulation software, such as Virtual PC or Parallels Workstation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: DyKnow requires the Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 in order to run. If the installer detects that you do not have this software installed, it will lead you through the process of downloading and installing this software using a file named dotnetfx.exe. This process may take several minutes (be patient!) In addition, when the installation of the .NET Framework completes you computer may reboot. If you run the DyKnow installer a second time it should carry through to completion.
  • Download the DyKnow Vision installer and save it to your computer.
  • Once downloaded, double-click on the file to begin the installation.
          - If the 'Open File – Security Warning' dialog appears, click Run to open the DyKnow – InstallShield Wizard.
  • The installer is configured to require no further student action. Once complete the user will find a 'DyKnow'icon on their desktop which they can double-click on to open the software.
