In the next step you can choose where 

igus

®

 Robot Control should be 

installed. The recommended directory 

is  
C:\iRC-igusRobotControl 

 
When installing igus

®

 Robot Control in 

a Windows program directory like 
C:\Programs 

 

it is possible that igus

®

 Robot Control 

can only be started as administrator. 

 

 
The  installation  usually  only  takes 

a few seconds. 
 

 
  

 

 

After  finishing  the  installation,  you 
can start igus

®

 Robot Control. 

Now  you  can  start  igus

®

  Robot  Control  via  the  link  on  the  desktop  or  via  the  start  menu.  

 
Installation error:  
The installation wizard checks whether all necessary extensions are available, especially the 
.NET framework. If this is not the case, an error message appears. The .NET framework must 
be installed manually: 

 

Search the network for "Microsoft .NET download" and install it.
