choose a different location, choose “Browse”.
You will always want to install mLAN on the drive that contains your
operating system (XP).
Once done, the applications will install themselves. You will see a window
with the installation percentage bars.

This will typically install very quick.
Next, you will see a window appear in the middle of your screen asking you
to complete a “Hardware Wizard” and if it completed successfully.
The “Hardware Wizard” should appear within 10 seconds so be patient and
wait for it.
When it appears, it will pop up in the upper left hand corner of your screen.
It will be a “Hardware Wizard” to install the mLAN Bus.

(Note)
This Wizard will automatically proceed through many instances where you
would normally click the “Next” button. This wizard my get stuck in a loop
trying to proceed. Just be ready to manually click the “Next” button when
selectable.
When it begins installing, you will see a window telling you that this has not
passed windows logo testing. Do no be concerned with this.
Click “Continue Anyway” and the installation will proceed.
Once the Wizard has finished you will see the Yamaha mLAN Installation
window again. If you saw the previous “Hardware Wizard” install, click
“Yes”.

(Note)
If you did not see the “Hardware Wizard” install, then click “Yes” anyway
and continue through the installer. You may still be able to manually
update the driver within the Device Manager.
At this stage you will now see the Patchbay Initialization window appear at
the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
You do not want to click “Next” quite yet.

Assuming that the previous Wizard installed successfully, in a few seconds
you should now see “Hardware Wizard’s” appearing in the upper left hand
corner of your screen to install the Yamaha mLAN MIDI In Port and the
Yamaha mLAN MIDI Out Port.
While they are installing, you may see the windows telling you that it has
not passed windows logo testing.
Click “Continue Anyway” and proceed.

If you are performing a reinstallation you may also see the “Hardware
Wizard” for the Yamaha mLAN Audio Port.

Click “Next”, “Continue Anyway” and “Finished” when prompted.
If this is the first time that you are installing mLAN, do not be surprised if
you do not see this yet. When you enable WDM sequences for the first
time this Wizard will appear. (See Part 2)
Once the “Hardware Wizard’s” have finished installing, the only window
remaining should be the Patchbay Initialization window.
