Blue Iris 5.0 Installation Notes
================================

If you chose the "Run Blue Iris Now" option, the software will run when you close this
ReadMe.txt window.

To run the software manually, locate the Blue Iris icon on your desktop, and double-
click it.  A Blue Iris icon can also be found by clicking the Windows Start button.

If you are upgrading from version 4, a file backup_upgrade_50.reg is created in the 
Blue Iris folder. If your cameras and other settings are deleted when you uninstall
version 4, you may re-import these settings using the Import button on Settings.

When Blue Iris starts for the first time, you may be prompted by the Windows Firewall.
It is important that you select "Allow Access" if you will be using any network IP
cameras and to allow the software to check for updates.  For proper and highest
performance operation, You should also exempt BlueIris.exe from any network/web
scanning caching by such software as Norton, Eset, Avast!, etc.

If you see a WMVCORE.DLL missing error, you must enable the Desktop Experience feature
of your server OS.  Also be sure Windows Media Player is installed and working.
