Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. The autorun demonstration program starts. (If the autorun demo does not start, execute the setup.exe program in the top-level directory of the CD-ROM.)

Click the Install button in the demo.

If you have an earlier version of ADS on your PC, a dialog reminds you of this and waits for you to decide what to do. Click the Yes button to continue.

When the Welcome window is displayed, click Next. The license agreement window is displayed.To continue the installation process, you must accept the terms of the license agreement. Installation of ADS 1.2 means that you accept the terms of the ARM License Agreement.

Click Yes to install the software.

If you do not want to accept the terms of the ARM license click No. If you do not want to accept the terms of the ARM License you must not use ADS 1.2 and you must return the software to the point of supply for a refund.If you accept the license agreement, the installer asks you to select a destination directory for your installation. If you want to accept the default destination, click Next. If you do not want to accept the default destination, click the Browse button to select the directory where you want the ARM Developer Suite to be installed.

The Windows installer prompts you to select an installation type (see Selecting your files). If you select Custom as the type, it offers a choice of product components to install. If you select more components than you have room for on your disk, an error message is displayed.A series of dialogs are displayed giving you a choice for the program folder, and CodeWarrior IDE file associations. Accept the defaults or enter a new value. The installer displays the list of the settings chosen for this installation.

Click Next to start the installation, or click Back to change your settings. After the software is copied to your disk, the ARM License Wizard is displayed.

Use the ARM License Wizard to install a temporary license (see Types of license for more information about license-managed software). Select the Install License option on the second screen.

Enter the temporary license number, given on a label on the ADS box, in the form armlmd-ads-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx, where each x represents a numeric digit. Do not add any extra spaces, and remember to include the minus (-) characters. Leave the License File to be Installed field blank.

Click the Next button.

You are asked if you wish to update your license.

Click the Next button.

Click the Finish button.

The Windows installer automatically registers the OCXs that are required for the CodeWarrior IDE and AXD, and that completes the installation of ADS.

As part of the registration of the OCX drivers, a new version of file comctl32.dll is installed if required. If the installer does this, you must reboot your workstation and the installer offers a reboot option at the end of installation.

If you have to register the OCX drivers again (after moving them, for example), you can do so by running the batch file register.bat from the \bin subdirectory of the ADS installation directory. See also Initialization failure.

The temporary licence lasts for a maximum of 45 days. The final important step is to apply for a permanent license (see Obtaining a permanent license) to continue using ADS after the temporary license expires.
