Installation

Dr. DivX takes residence with very little fuss. Simply run the Dr. DivX installation program. If you have previous versions of Dr. DivX installed, there is no need to remove them. The installer will replace older versions as needed.

You may see a brief progress display while the installer loads. You will then be prompted to select a language. English is the default choice but if you prefer another dialect make your selection using the drop down list and press the OK button. You can always change the doctor's language later. Look at the Preferences section for more details.

After choosing a language, you'll see the Dr. DivX splash screen. This page doesn't do anything but showcase the doctor's handsome mug and pass on some trademark claims in fine print. Click the Next button and move along, nothing to see here.

The next page you'll encounter is the License Agreement. Read the terms carefully. You might find Waldo. Even if you don't, it's a riveting read. If you have no objections with the Dr. DivX license, click the I Agree button to continue your journey.

You will next be pestered to choose the components you'd like to install. There's really not much choice to make although if you don't want the Dr. DivX icon placed on your desktop then uncheck the Desktop shortcuts box before you click the Next button.

The last choice you need to make is for the Installation Location. By default, the doctor chooses a home in the DivX program directory. You can move it if you'd like but there is probably no need for such antics. As long as you can live with the default choice, press the Install button and enjoy the show.

Assuming all goes well, various progress bars will flash by and you'll be notified that the installation is complete. When you are done staring at the Installation Complete page, press the Finish button and it will simply vanish.

You probably want to have a quick look at what you've just installed. Move on to the Quick Start section for the nickel tour.
