Installing Echoview and Utilities

Echoview and its support utilities can be installed from:

The Echoview installation program will guide you through the steps of installation.

Installation of a major release will by default create a new Echoview folder, i.e. C:\Program files\Myriax\Echoview\Echoview5. Please note that installing a minor release (or revision) will overwrite the previous minor release of Echoview. If you wish to keep a previous release of Echoview, we recommend you rename the Echoview folder or move the folder before running the installation.
