Other files installed include application programming interface (API) library called TMEX, along with supporting dlls and documentation. Also known as the TMEX runtime environment (RTE), the 1-Wire Drivers installation program performs a comprehensive install of all 1-Wire adapter drivers. The easiest option for a 1-Wire software developer is to use the installation program created by Maxim. The first option uses Maxim's 1-Wire drivers installation program, and the second option is to develop a custom installation program. There are two ways to accomplish a 1-Wire drivers installation. This white paper discusses the installation process of the 1-Wire drivers for the following Microsoft Windows 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows XP (service pack 2 or greater). This white paper also covers the installation of both the TMEX API and the 1-Wire API for. It also lists the subdirectory to which each dll and driver must be copied and the appropriate registry keys that need to be created. It explains which drivers and dlls go with which 1-Wire port adapter (USB, serial port, and parallel port). This application note discusses the installation process for 1-Wire drivers.

The first option uses Maxim's 1-Wire Drivers installation program the second option is to develop a custom installation program.

The software application developer has two options for installing 1-Wire device drivers on Microsoft ® Windows ® 32- and 64-bit platforms (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista ®, and Windows XP ® service pack 2 or greater).
