Meta Imaging Series 7.0
Instructions for Installation of Meta Imaging Series 7.0
1. Before Installation
The preferred operating system for Meta Imaging Series 7.0 is Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP4, Windows XP Professional SP2 or greater. The software will not run under Windows 95, Windows Millennium, Windows 98, or Windows NT.
Meta Imaging Series Software is not supported under any Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2003 Server version.
It is advisable to ensure that the latest Windows high priority security updates have been installed.
2. Updates
Check the Meta Imaging Series Updates website at www.meta.moleculardevices.com for any updates to your version and download them to have them available for installation once the software has been installed. You can also view release notes (what's new) on this website.
3. Do you have a USB Memory Key?
If you have a USB Memory Key, you must not have the key plugged in when you start up the installation program. This is because the installation program will update the key drivers, and if the USB key is present, it may be erased during the driver update. An erased key will have to be RMA'd, causing lost time and the expense of shipping. Once the installation program has finished updating the drivers, it will ask you for the key, and the USB key may be inserted at that time.
4. If You Need Further Assistance...
