The self-extractable executable file, available for download on this page, can be used for two purposes:

• to install the Demo version of LEKIN®;
• to upgrade an existing installation.

Lekin.exe (1.67MB)

Installation instructions.

• Run Lekin.exe file.
• Wait while the files are unpacked. InstallShield will start.
• Select an installation directory for LEKIN®. Default is C:\Program Files\Lekin; you can change it as you wish.
• Select a directory for LEKIN® algorithm files. Default is <ProgDir>\Alg, where <ProgDir> is the main installation directory.
• If you intend to use LEKIN® for developing your own algorithms and sending them out, you should identify yourself – more or less uniquely.  Otherwise, when someone tries to import your algorithm into his system, it may wipe out one of the previously imported algorithms. You should choose a "call sign" for yourself. The name of your company, possibly accompanied by your own name, should do the trick.
• Choose the Folder for the program icons.
• LEKIN® will now install itself onto your system.
• Press "Finish". LEKIN® was successfully installed!

If you have a customized version of LEKIN® and would like to upgrade it, please do the following:

• Download Lekin.exe file from this page.
• Insert your original LEKIN® disk in the floppy drive.
• Run Lekin.exe and follow the installation instructions. The original LEKIN® disk must be in the drive throughout the installation.
