DME Designer and DME-N Network Driver Installation

Install the DME Designer application and DME-N Network Driver from the DME Designer Combo Installer by 

following the procedure outlined below.

n

The following procedure is applicable even if an older version of the DME Designer and/or DME-N Network Driver is already installed.

n

Be sure to read the license agreement at the end of this document before installing this software.

1

Open the downloaded and extracted “DME Designer Combo Installer V*.*.*” folder (*.*.* will be the version 
number on the actual file), and double-click the “setup.exe” file located in the “Installer” folder.

The DME Designer Combo Installer setup dialog window will appear on the display.

2

Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.

The DME Designer will be installed first, followed by the DME-N Network Driver.
If a previous version of the DME Designer and/or DME Network Driver exists on the computer, the older software will be 
uninstalled before installation of the new software begins. After the older software has been uninstalled, you will be asked to 
restart the computer. In this case the computer must be restarted before the installation process can continue. The installer 
will automatically be re-launched and the installation will continue after the computer has been restarted.
The software will be installed in a “DME Designer” folder in the “Program Files\YAMAHA\OPT Tools” folder (default).

n

Refer to the pdf-format DME Designer manual for operating instructions. The manual is not installed by the installer. Download the 
manual separately from the “Downloads” page on the Yamaha Pro Audio website.
