Download HLS
Download the software HLS_Install_**.zip from [1] and save it to your computer.
- Tip: One way to organize the downloaded versions is to create a folder named "HLS Versions" and save downloads there.
- Unzip the HLS_Install_**.zip and four files will be created in a folder named the same as the zip file. These four files are:
- DBGHELP.DLL
- ftd2xx.dll
- HLS.exe
- ipworks8.dll
Folder Hierarchy
Unlike a lot of software, HLS doesn't change your registry and isn't installed in a typical way. All that's necessary to get HLS up and running is to place the four files listed above into a folder and you are off and running. A little time spent on creating a foundation of folders to hold your copy of HLS will go a long way in keeping your computer organized and the files you will be creating logical and easy to find.
Note: Prior to version 16K, the HLS Program and Data all were contained within the HLS Application folder. Starting in version 16K, data can be set to any place you want. Your Documents folder, an external hard drive, etc. Follow the Moving HLS Data Directories page to separate data from application.
Wherever you decide to save HLS data, the following structure is suggested:
HLS HLS\Backgrounds HLS\Library HLS\Music
When you create an HLS sequence, HLS will create a folder under your HLS folder with the sequence name.
HLS Installation
- Now that you have the foundation of folders created, copy the four files from the HLS_Install_**.zip version into your "HLS" folder.
- Now you are ready to run HLS.
- Note: If you are using Windows 7 you need to change the properties of the HLS.exe file to run as Administrator.
- Open HLS.exe and begin to sequence.
