Getting Started Manual Software Installation & Overview 3–3
The default location, as shown in the example
above, is in a folder named for the version of
Dynamic C, placed in the root folder of the C: drive.
If this location is not suitable, enter a different root
path before clicking
Next > . Files are placed in the
specified folder, so do not set this location to a
drive’s root directory.
3.3.2 Installation Type
Dynamic C has two components that can be
installed together or separately. One component is
Dynamic C itself, with the development environ-
ment, support files and libraries. The other compo-
nent is the documentation library in HTML and
PDF formats, which may be left uninstalled to save
hard drive space or installed elsewhere (on a sepa-
rate or network drive, for example).
The installation type is selected in the installation
menu shown above. The options are:
• Typical Installation — Both Dynamic C
and the documentation library will be
installed in the specified folder (default).
• Compact Installation — Only Dynamic C
will be installed.
• Custom Installation — You will be
allowed to choose which components are
installed. This choice is useful to install or
reinstall just the documentation.
3.3.3 Select COM Port
Dynamic C uses a COM (serial) port to communi-
cate with the target development system. The instal-
lation allows you to choose the COM port that will
be used.
The default selection, as shown in the example
above, is COM1. You may select any available port
for Dynamic C’s use. If you are not certain which
port is available, select COM1. This selection can
be changed later within Dynamic C.
NOTE: The installation utility does not
check the selected COM port in any
way. Specifying a port in use by
another device (mouse, modem,
etc.) may cause temporary prob-
lems when Dynamic C is started.
3.3.4 Desktop Icons
Once your installation is complete, you will have up
to three icons on your PC desktop, as shown below.
One icon is for Dynamic C, one opens the documen-
tation menu, and the third is for the Rabbit Field
Utility, a tool used to download precompiled soft-
ware to a target system.
