h1. FEI Talos installation specifics 

 h2. IMPORT NOTES 

 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. 

 *Talos On-system UI uses 32-bit python as well*.    Therefore we just need to install the dependency that is missing in there.    The location of this python is 

 <pre> 
 C:\Tecnai\OnSystemUI\Python27 
 </pre> 

 Here is the full list 
 {{include(Windows 32 External Package Installers)}} 
 {{include(Comtypes_installer)}} 

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