Here is a summary of where the JEOL EIKS files should reside:
The JEOL EIKS files need to be in the SysWOW64 folder (if Win7 64 bit) *and* also in every app folder that needs to access the JEOL instrument using the EIKS interface:
Matrix.exe in SysWOW64 folder
Probe for EPMA.exe, Stage.exe, etc in C:\Probe Software\Probe for EPMA folder
ProbeImage.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Probe Software\Probe Image folder
NSS.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Thermo Scientific\NSS folder
Normally one should never have duplicate DLLs in multiple folders, but because the JEOL EIKS driver is *not* multi-threaded, each app that needs to run *at the same time*, needs their *own* copy of the JEOL EIKS files.
Note that because of this JEOL EIKS limitation one can run Probe for EPMA and Probe Image at the same time (because they are in different folders!), but not PFE and Stage.exe (because they are in the same folder!).
The latest JEOL EIKS files are attached below, but note that your existing JEOLEIKs.ini file contains settings specific to your instrument network and should generally not be modified. However, if installing the EIKS interface for the first time, you will need to configure the JEOLEIKs.ini file properly. Please contact Probe Software for more information.
