This document briefly reviews how to install MediaLooks' products.

1. Download installation package (usually .MSI) and run the installer.

2. Follow the istaller guidelines.

By default, our products are installed in the "Program Files/MediaLooks" folder. If you wish to uninstall any of our products at a later date, you need to simply run the uninstaller either from the program folder, from the user menu or from the administration panel in Windows. This is done entirely for the convenience of our customers.

When using our DLLs in actual development, you might find it more convenient to place the DLLs somewhere in the folder structure of your application. Having done so, please make sure that you re-register the DLL at its new location (use "winsvr32").

Note that after that the uninstaller will not be able to remove this DLL from your computer.
