Standard, zipped installation sets are available, but they are rather large. Therefore, we have also made Windows Installer files (.MSI) available for download. These files require that you have Windows Installer installed (if you have Windows 2000 or ME, or if you have done other installations that were using Windows Installer you already have this).
The Runtime Keyboard installation set (for deployment to other users) is no longer included in the Keyboard Designer installation. The Runtime Keyboard program is installed with the Keyboard Designer as before.
To upgrade from any previous version to version 2.11 of the Designer or Runtime, just download and install the complete version below.
Designer

Keyboard Designer package including the Runtime Keyboard (v. 2.11), examples and manual.

Runtime
Runtime Keyboard (v. 2.11) installation set only (3.88MB zipped)
Alternative download file (1.59MB as MSI)
ActiveX Component
The file KBD.DLL is included in the MountFocus Keyboard Designer installation set. It is available here as a separate file in case you need it for deployment. (43.7KB zipped) Note: The KBD.DLL library contains no actual functionality, but presents a link to the Runtime Keyboard program as an ActiveX component. The only purpose of this library is to simplify the use of the OLE interface provided by the Runtime Keyboard. Now Web safe!

If you are planning to run the version 1.x keyboards with version 2.x of the Runtime, we recommend that you open the files in version 2.x of the Designer, make any modifications necessary, and save the files again.
