Note: For proper operation of the software, a temporary directory should exist on the hard disk and a "SET TEMP= " command listed in your autoexec.bat file. Before proceeding, check this out and if it is missing, create a temporary directory and write an appropriate line in the autoexec.bat file. The temporary directory is used to store temporary files during DIOEasy operation. The temp directory and its drive should contain enough disk space for DIOEasy operation.
