So that you are assured of installing the most current version of software possible. The CD that ships with the ColorMunki package contains a link to download the software from the X-Rite website. You will need a high speed internet connection to do this.  Note that the following screen grabs indicate ColorMunki Photo.  The process for ColorMunki Design is identical.  ColorMunki Create will not require a download.  The Create installation CD will launch the installer beginning with the sixth screen grab below asking to select a language.  

• Insert the CD into your CD drive

• With ColorMunki Photo and Design, click the Install button at the first screen

• Check the box in front of "I allow X-Rite to the internet and download the latest version."

• Click on the "Save" Button - do not click open

• Allow the software to download to your computer - depending on the speed of your computer this may take just a little while

• When you see the following message indicating that the download is complete, click the "Open" button

• Double click the ColorMunki Photo.exe file

• Select a language from the dropdown list and click the "OK" button.  This will be ColorMunki Create's first screen.
