Note that a system restart might be required. If you get an error saying “.NET framework 4 installer error (HRESULT:\u00a00xc8000222), you need to install this patch<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Runtime Libraries (x86). Again, ideally you should already have this.\u00a0If you don’t have it, click here <\/a>to download.<\/li>\n
  3. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Runtime Libraries (x86). If you don’t have it already, download either directly from Microsoft<\/a> or use our Google doc<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    System requirement for optimum performance<\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Intel Dual Core Processor or Higher.<\/li>\n

      1. If you are already using Pi and want to install the latest version: Ensure you\u00a0first uninstall the older version of Pi from the Control Panel (Windows key + X).<\/li>\n
      2. On Windows 8 if you get a message, “Windows protected your PC”, click on “More Info”, and then click on “Run anyway”.<\/li>\n

      4. Software like Magic Macro, AutoHotKey, AutoIT, FastKeys and similar\u00a0should be disabled while running Pi.<\/li>\n

        8.\u00a0Also if the font seems to be different in your installation than what you see in the images above, open\u00a0the “Open Sans Fonts” folder in the downloaded installation file (3rd image from top of this post). Once this is opened, you’ll see two fonts, just double click on both these fonts and choose “Install” as shown in the image below.<\/p>\n
