Upon completion, the status should turn and display "OK" .
: Look for AlcorMP.exe or LoadDriver.exe in the extracted folder. Right-click and select "Run as Administrator."
The "installation" process is straightforward once you understand that the tool is portable—there is no traditional setup wizard. The key steps involve extracting the files, installing the correct driver using LoadDriver.exe with your device's VID/PID, running AlcorMP.exe as administrator, and correctly configuring the various settings before starting the low-level operation.
