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.
- At a minimum, it is suggested to create a folder layout of five folders as follows (folders needing to be created are in bold type):
HLS HLS\Backgrounds HLS\Library HLS\Music HLS\Sequences
- Each sequence you create will create additional files, therefore, it is an excellent practice to make a sub-folder under the "HLS\Sequences" folder for each new sequence you create. For example:
HLS\Sequences\My first sequence
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.
