4.3 Windows (XP, VISTA, Windows 7):
To install the XILS 4 on Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, launch the XILS 4 installer file.
Please download the latest version from the XILS-lab website.
http://www.xils-lab.com/pages/XILS 4_Download-Installer.html
Once you have accepted the license agreement, you will be asked to select the components to be installed :
You can choose which format is to be installed, selecting any or all of RTAS, AAX and VST2.4 (32 and 64 bits).
You will then be asked to choose the various install directories.
A destination directory is provided as a default. Presets and various files used by the XILS 4, such as this
manual, will be stored in this directory. Please note that this location is different from the VST install directory,
which you will need to specify in the next step of the installation.
Once the installation directory is specified, you will be asked to select the VST plug-in directory, with a suggested
default location. Make sure that the path for the 32 bits plug-in differs than for the 64 bits plug-in (as does the
default path)
Important notice for Vista or Windows 7: Be sure to use a folder that is write-enabled, and owned by the
user. (Do not use “c:/program files” for instance). Otherwise you will have to run your music application with
“administrator rights”.
The RTAS plug-in and its table control management Pro-Tools are directly copied into the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Digidesign\DAE\Plug-Ins

software.
