Windows Installation

This section explains how to install, unlock, and run PV‑WAVE or JWAVE on Windows.

Note:
The installation directory is identified as <RW_DIR> throughout this document.

Note:

INSTALLING OVER OLDER VERSIONS OF PV‑WAVE: You should not install this version in a directory structure that already contains a previous version of PV‑WAVE. Instead, we recommend that you either move the previous version to another directory, or install this version in a separate directory.
REDUCING THE INSTALLATION DISK SPACE REQUIRED: You can reduce the disk space requirements for installation by deselecting options and features that may not be necessary at your site in the Choose a Product and/or Customize Your Installation window.

Note:
For optimal performance of PV‑WAVE’s display capabilities, please make sure your Microsoft DirectX and graphic drivers are up-to-date. Updating these drivers can often correct visual oddities.
