DyKnow Vision: Installing on Windows Computers

DyKnow Vision runs on most Windows-based computers, as well as on Macintosh computers using Virtual Desktop. Mac users who require Virtual Desktop for a course can download the client following Virtual Desktop for Macs Running Windows Applications instructions. Mac users will not need to install DyKnow, instead they will use Virtual Desktop to access DyKnow.

 

These instructions are for Windows users who have never had DyKnow installed on their computer. The instructions were created using DyKnow version 5.8. Click here if you are upgrading from an earlier version.
