Installing the Software 

Before installing the software, make sure you have the version of Internet Explorer 5.01 or 
later appropriate to the language/culture settings of the operating system installed on your 
computer. 

If you have exited your Interactive User's Manual, relaunch it by putting the User's Manual 
CD back in your CD-ROM drive. If it doesn’t, browse to your CD ROM drive and double-
click Ti30_CD.exe.. Once the application launches and you've selected your language, click 
the 

Install InsideIR™ Companion Software

 button. 

 

The installation wizard will lead you through the installation process. 

Do NOT remove the CD until after you have successfully installed the software, rebooted 
the machine, and opened the application. 
 
Please note that you will be asked to install the Microsoft .NET 1.1 Framework and 
Microsoft Visual J#.NET Redistributable Package 1.1. This is not optional—you MUST
