If you currently have a PDV package installed, remove it first by running the Windows add/remove (aka Programs and Features) utility.
This version of the PDV driver for Windows has a self-extracting install program. To install the package, download EDTpdv_version.exe to a temporary location on your computer, then execute it. You can optionally choose to install it directly from the web.
The installation creates two icons on your desktop: vlviewer, which launches a GUI application that allows you to configure the device for a specific camera and capture and display images in real time, and the PDV Utilities which launches a Windows command terminal in the installation directory (usually C:\EDT\pdv), providing access to all of the EDT files including
utilities, examples, executables, and libraries. Several README files are also present; for quick start and camera configuration information, see README.pdv. See the users guide for your specific frame grabber or simulator board, see the users guide.
IMPORTANT: If you have any user or 3rd-party applications developed using a pre-5.1.1.x version of the EDT libraries, they MUST be recompiled and re-linked with the libraries / header files in this package in order for them to work with this version of the driver.
