Installing Your Plugin

Direct Install is designed to use a plugin’s native installer. Because every developer has their own methodology

for installing plugins, the actual install process will vary from developer-to-developer.
The following are generic instructions for installing plugins using Direct Install. If a particular plugin has

specific instructions, they will be available for download from the plugin’s page on the Direct Install window.

1

Launch Receptor Remote Control and click its

Direct Install button.

2

In the Direct Install window that appears, search the Receptor Compatibility database for your plugin.

3

In the Search Results page, click the plugin you wish to install.
Important: Be sure to check the Direct Install window for any plugin-specific installation instructions that might exist

for that particular plugin.

4

Click

Begin Installing.

5

You will be asked to either insert a CD/DVD that contains the installer, or navigate to it on your hard drive.

6

The Receptor Viewer will launch and the installer will be copied to your Receptor.

7

Begin running the installer in Receptor’s Viewer window, following any onscreen instructions.

8

When the plugin finishes installing, the Refresh Plugins utility will launch automatically and, upon its
completion, your plugin will be ready to use.
