Help with WIS/EPC installation
I just downloaded a mid 2011 version of the WIS/EPC software and it is over 12 GB.
I am having a very hard time trying to install it.
I would appreciate it if someone can halp me install it on my 64bit machine.
I already have a subscription to EPC-net but it is very difficult for me to use because I am partially visually handicaped (the font size is extremely small for me to see).
Thank you all.

What in particular are you having trouble with? If you're on Windows 7 there are many accessibility tools which should aide you with your vision impairment.
The accessibility center in Win7 has high-contrast visual enabling, Screen Reader service, as well as the magnify tool.
You can enable the magnify tool by pressing the WIN key with +/- in the number key row.

I am having difficulties with the EPC-net Java application on my 64 bit machine. I can not control the font size or the contrast of the page.
Hence I need to use the WIS/EPC window's run application as it allows me to control the size/color/contrast of the window and the fonts in it.
I had a 2006 version of EPC and that served me well but it went out with a crashed HD on an older machine.
I am familiar with the accessibility tools in windows but they do not live up to my expectations.

No, I currently use the EPC-online version, not the downloaded version. This is simply a JAR file you invoke directly (if your Java Runtime install is done right) or you can invoke through commandline by running java -jar ewa-net.jar
Again, if I could see what the setup files are I could probably walk you through whatever issues easily. I'm rather in the dark here at present :P

You just pointed me in the right direction.
I have found it.
If you, or someone you know, has written directions, I would immensely appreciate having them.
Now comes the dilemma of having to deal with a screen that does not show enough details for me to interact with the installer. ( High contrast mode)
Thank you.
