Installing mscape Player on Your Mobile Device
mscape player is the software that runs on your mobile device that enables you to experience mediascapes. Before you can install mscape player you need to have installed mscape onto your desktop machine.
Download mscape.
mscape library is the application that allows you to manage your collection of mediascapes. It is also used to install mscape player onto your device - so first we need to start it up.
- On your desktop PC, start up mscape library. Click Start Menu / Programs / mscape and select mscape library.
- Connect your mobile device to the desktop PC.
- If mscape player is not already installed on your device you should see a yellow box appear under the Mobile Device heading on the left-hand panel. Click Install to bring up mscape player installer. If the yellow box does not appear, or you want to force a reinstall, click the File menu and select Install mscape player.
 Many mediascapes make use of Adobe Flash - this includes any mediascape that uses video as well as interactive Adobe Flash interfaces. Due to licensing conditions we are not able to distribute the Flash installer with mscape so you will need to download it yourself. The mscape player installer will take you through the process of downloading the flash installer if you click the Adobe Flash Installer Not Found button on the installer interface. You only need to complete this process once. |
- Ensure that your mobile device is connected and then click next to start the installation wizard.
If the install pauses or appears to have stopped, check your device screen for messages. On some devices various messages and / or security warnings may pop up.
If the install fails, there is a manual alternative to the automatic installer. See
Resolving Installation Problems for more details.
