    Install and uninstall twin

    System requirements

    For a smooth operation of twin we recommend the following system requirements:

    • Operating system: Windows 11
    • Processor: Intel Core i7 or better
    • Memory: At least 16 GB
    • Graphics adapter: DirectX 11 enabled graphics adapter. An onboard graphics adapter is not recommended.
      Note

      If you have more than one graphics adapter installed (for example an on-board and a dedicated graphics adapter), Windows may not assign the best adapter to twin. Please use the graphics card manufacturer's tools to change this (for example NVIDIA Control Panel).

    Install twin

    twin is installed with the setup supplied. Proceed as follows:

    1. Please run the program twin_Setup.exe from the folder twin
    2. If software packages required for running twin are missing, they are installed automatically. These are:
      • Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable (x64)
      • Microsoft .Net Framework 4.8
    3. Read the End User Licence Agreement (EULA) carefully. In order to install and use twin, you must accept the EULA.
    4. Select the installation folder. We recommend that you leave this folder set to C:\Eberle Automatische Systeme\twin, otherwise problems may occur during execution of the program.
    5. Please install twin.

    After installing twin, you will find a program icon on your desktop and in the start-menu, which you can use to start twin.

    Note

    When you start twin for the first time after installation, this may take a few seconds longer. The reason for this is that Windows checks the authenticity of the software.

    Note

    If you want to try twin in form of a temporal limited demo version, you must request a demo licence. How to request and install a demo licence can be found in the section Install and uninstall a licence.

    Note

    The installation folder may not be completely deleted by the uninstall process. The folder is no longer needed, you can easily delete it via the windows explorer.
