-Before connecting your ADALM1000 to your computer you need to install the WinUSB device drivers. On 64 bit computers (most common), run the libsmu-1.0.2-setup-x64.exe installer program. Click on the box to install the WinUSB device drivers. You may skip this step if the device drivers were installed by another package such as Pixelpulse2.+Before connecting your ADALM1000 to your computer you need to install the WinUSB device drivers.

-Run the alice-desktop-1.3-setup.exe installer program. ALICE desktop opens and saves info and data to various files in the installation directory. Because of user permission issues with some installations of Windows you may need to install the software in a directory other than the usual default “Program Files”. C:\ALM Software\ would be a good second choice or further down in the Documents folder. The installer adds desktop icons for each tool in the suite. Alternatively, under the properties for the icons, you can change the directory the program(s) start in.+Run the alice-desktop-1.3-x64-setup.exe installer program.
