Windows Installation Guide

Dependencies

  1. Install the .NET 6 Desktop Runtime x64

If you were previously using the standalone installer/updater (before v0.6), switch to the new method for installing OpenTabletDriver below.

Installation

If you are upgrading from an older version of OpenTabletDriver, it is important that you do not install it on top of the old version and instead clean up the old directory. Alternatively you can install it to a new directory.

  1. Download the latest release. (OpenTabletDriver.win-x64.zip)

  2. Extract the downloaded file into a folder of its own. For example:

     C:\Users\<username>\OpenTabletDriver-0.6.5.0

    Replace <username> with your username.

  3. Run OpenTabletDriver.UX.Wpf.exe in the extracted directory.

    You can create a shortcut to this file, just make sure that the working directory points to the extracted directory.

Installation of WinUSB

Some tablets require Zadig’s WinUSB installed on a device interface to interact with the tablet correctly. To figure out if your tablet requires WinUSB, carefully check the notes on the supported list of tablets here.

Some WinUSB-requiring tablets require a specific interface to be chosen. This is also noted in the list of tablets, if relevant.

Most tablets DO NOT need WinUSB! Only install WinUSB if it is explicitly listed for your tablet.

  1. If your tablet requires WinUSB, download it from here.
  2. Start Zadig.
  3. Go to Options ⇒ Show All Devices.
  4. Find your tablet with the correct interface number on the device list.
  5. Click Replace Driver
