These four files are:		Download the software HLS_Install_**.zip from [http://joehinkle.com/HLS] and save it to your computer.<br />

	DBGHELP.DLL~~<br />~~		*One way to organize the downloaded versions is to create a folder named "HLS Versions" and save downloads there.

	HLS.exe~~<br />~~		::DBGHELP.DLL
	ipworks8.dll~~<br />~~		::ftd2xx.dll
			::HLS.exe
			::ipworks8.dll

			*To update your version of HLS to the current version, simply replace the existing copies of these files with those contained in the latest zipped version of HLS.

			===Folder Hierarchy===

	~~To update your version of HLS to the current version, all you have to do is replace the existing copies of these files with those the latest zipped version of HLS.~~		Unlike a lot of software, HLS doesn't change your registry and isn't installed in a typical way. All that's necessary to get HLS up and running is to place the four files listed above into a folder and you are off and running. A little time spent on creating a foundation of folders to hold your copy of HLS will go a long way in keeping your computer organized and the files you will be creating logical and easy to find.<br />

	~~HLS~~
	~~HLS\'''Backgrounds'''<br />~~
	~~HLS\'''Library'''<br />~~
	~~HLS\'''Music'''<br />~~
	~~HLS\'''Sequences'''~~<br />

	Each sequence you create will create ~~many~~ additional files, therefore it is an excellent practice to make a sub-folder under the "HLS\Sequences" folder for each new sequence you create.<br />		HLS
			HLS\'''Backgrounds'''
			HLS\'''Library'''
			HLS\'''Music'''
			HLS\'''Sequences'''

			*Each sequence you create will create additional files, therefore, it is an excellent practice to make a sub-folder under the "HLS\Sequences" folder for each new sequence you create. For example:<br />

	~~For example:<br />~~		HLS\Sequences\'''My first sequence'''
	HLS\Sequences\'''My first sequence'''~~<br />~~

	~~Now that you have the foundation created, copy the four files from the HLS.zip version into your "HLS" folder.<br />~~
	~~Now you are ready to run HLS.<br />~~
	~~Note: If you are using Windows 7 you need to change the properties of the HLS.exe file to run as Administrator. <br />~~
	~~Right click on the HLS.exe file and click on the "Compatibility" tab at the top of the window that opens.<br />~~
	~~Click the "Run this program as an administrator" at the bottom of the window under the "Privlege Level" section,<br />~~
	~~then click the OK button to save your settings.<br />~~

	~~[[File:Windows7 Run as Admin.jpg]] <br />~~		===HLS Installation===

	Now you ~~can open~~ HLS.exe and begin to sequence.		Now that you have the foundation of folders created, copy the four files from the HLS_Install_*.zip version into your "HLS" folder.
			*Now you are ready to run HLS.
			*Note: If you are using '''Windows 7''' you need to change the properties of the HLS.exe file to run as Administrator.
			*Open HLS.exe and begin to sequence.
