Installing the Live Player software

  1. Download the zip file with the needed files by clicking here.

Note that this is not an installer. It is just the executable and a software .dll file needed run the program
  1. Locate then right-click the ProFilerLivePlayer.exe file in the directory where you extracted the files.
  2. On the Compatibility tab, check the box that allows the program to "Run as Administrator," then click OK
