PHYLock Must be Reinstalled After Upgrading to Windows Vista or Windows 7/8.x/10

If you have PHYLock installed under a prior version of Windows and then perform an upgrade installation of Windows Vista or Windows 7/8.x/10, you must reinstall PHYLock if you wish to use it under the new version of Windows.  This is necessary in order for the correct version of the PHYLock driver to be installed.

Instructions for Updating PHYLock

The PHYLock component of the Image for Windows installation package is selected by default.  If you didn't deselect PHYLock upon installation, there should be a shortcut to PHYLock setup under the Start menu.

1. If you have a shortcut for PHYLock setup under your Start menu, run it now and then skip to Step 2 below.  If you have no such shortcut, download the latest version of PHYLock that is compatible with the version of Image for Windows you wish to use:
   

   • Standalone PHYLock installer/uninstaller: Image for Windows V1

   After downloading, extract the PHYLock archive and run SETUP.EXE.

     1. Click the Upgrade button.
     2. Click OK to allow PHYLock Setup to exit.
