Windows Installation
====================

Windows XP or greater is required.

1) Install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) version
   6 or above (version 8 or greater is recommanded). The latest JRE can be downloaded
   and installed from https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp (it's free!)
   
   Be careful to choose the Java version (32 bit or 64 bit) that matches your host's
   architecture! Mind that the architecture of the host (32 bit or 64 bit) might not
   be the same as the architecture of your Windows version.
   
   In general, a 32 bit version of Windows only runs 32 bit hosts, while a 64 bit
   version of Windows can run both 32 bit and 64 bit hosts.
   
2) Copy all files from the 'Windows-32' or 'Windows-64' directory (depending on your
   host's architecture) to the plugin folder of your host application.
   The plugin folder depends on the host. Some hosts have a dedicated plugin
   folder, while others allow you to select a plugin folder.
   
   The plugins implement both the LADSPA and VST plugin interfaces. 

It should be possible to install both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions, by installing
both a 32 bit and a 64 bit Java Runtime Environment. This has not been tested heavily
though.
