h1. FEI Talos/Arctica/Glacios installation specifics 

 h2. Install win32 version of python subpackages 

 Because all interaction with the scope uses COM interface that is only accessible through 32-bit architecture, python running Leginon component is the 32-bit version.    Use the 32-bit Windows files (those marked as win32 and certainly not the ones says 64) in http://emg.nysbc.org/projects/leginon/files for these. 

 Here is the full list 
 {{include(Windows_32_External_Package_Installers_Common)}} 
 {{include(Comtypes_installer)}} 

 h2. Important: Install Python under a custom named folder 

 *If your Talos/Arctica has a 64-bit Python pre-installed unde default python location C:\Python27,    we need to name our installation with another name, such as C:\Python27-win32.* 
 This is set during python installation. 

 The rest of the installation is similar to other FEI systems.
