Some 1-Wire software-application developers desire or are required to make a single installation program that includes their custom 1-Wire application, the necessary 1-Wire drivers, and other API libraries. For more information, see the 1-Wire Drivers Installation Project section below. This can be done easily since the 1-Wire Drivers package can be installed silently, without any user interaction. The second approach is to make a custom installation program that not only installs the developer's own program, but spawns the 1-Wire drivers. This is the easiest method, but it requires the end user to install two separate software pieces: the 1-Wire Drivers package and the software developer's custom 1-Wire application. One approach is to notify the end customer to download and install the 1-Wire Drivers package. When deploying a custom 1-Wire application, there are two approaches for distributing the 1-Wire Drivers installation package. The 1-Wire Drivers installation program is available for download. The installation also writes the necessary registry keys for the software's proper functioning.

Other files installed include application programming interface (API) library called TMEX, along with supporting dlls and documentation.

Also known as the TMEX runtime environment (RTE), the 1-Wire Drivers installation program performs a comprehensive install of all 1-Wire adapter drivers. The easiest option for a 1-Wire software developer is to use the installation program created by Maxim. The first option uses Maxim's 1-Wire drivers installation program, and the second option is to develop a custom installation program. There are two ways to accomplish a 1-Wire drivers installation. This white paper discusses the installation process of the 1-Wire drivers for the following Microsoft Windows 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows XP (service pack 2 or greater).
