Windows Installation

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

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

Updating Drivers

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.

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.
