Installation Directories

ATEasy is provided with two development environments, one for creating 32-bit applications and one for 64-bit applications.

32 and 64-bit versions of ATEasy development environment will both be installed to the following predefined folders:

        32-bit ATEasy IDE on 32-bit Windows in: "C:\Program Files\Marvin Test Solutions\ATEasy\2024" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Marvin Test Solutions\2024" under 64-bit Windows.

        If your Windows is 64-bit, a 64-bit ATEasy IDE will also be installed in: "C:\Program Files\Marvin Test Solutions\ATEasy\2024". Note that some of the subfolders listed bellow (i.e., Drivers) are a shortcut to the 32-bit folder since the drivers for 64-bit are the same as for 32-bit.

During the installation ATEasy, Setup creates and copies files to the following directories under each of the installation folders, the x noted bellow refers to the year the software was released (i.e. ...\ATEasy\2024):
