4 Installing the Tool

After the installer setup is complete, begin the tool installation by going to the directory listed in the ReadMe file shown at the end of the previous Installer Setup series and double-clicking on the file MyAppInstaller_web_V#.exe.

Click on the desktop icon and the splash screen briefly appears.

Note: The final step is to update the new desktop short-cut that was part of the installation.

Open the Properties of the desktop short-cut by right-clicking and selecting the last menu item. Change the Start in: directory to: C:\Users\USER_ID\AppData\Roaming\Texas_Instruments\LDC5072_Sensor_Designer\application otherwise the supporting .PNG files cannot be found and Windows security cannot allow the log file to be written.
