1. Download and install the EQuIS Data Processor (EDP). Note: If you already have installed a current version of EDP, you can just download the EDP Format File.
2. Once EDP has been installed, download the EDP Format File and double-click the self-extracting .exe file. Extract the files to the EQuIS Format directory (by default, located at C:\Program Files\EarthSoft\EQuIS\Formats). If this directory does not exist, you may have to create it or select the appropriate directory.

How to determine if you already have the .NET Framework version 3.5

You can check to see if you already have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed by clicking Start on your Windows desktop, selecting Control Panel, and then double-clicking Add or Remove Programs. When that window appears, scroll through the list of applications. If you see Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 listed, the latest version is already installed and you do not need to install it again.
