These are the installation files that were on the Pro-Q Designer CD-ROM. They will work with Windows 11 and earlier.
Version.3.53.Full.Installer.zip is a zip file that contains the full installer. Download this file and then double-click the file to unzip the files.
-Use the "Extract all" button to unzip the files into a folder called Version 3.53 Full Installer.
-Open the folder and you will see 5 more folders and 4 files.
-Double-click the "setup.exe" file to begin the installation. You may have to left-click and select "Run as administrator".
-The installer will first install Pro-Q Designer and then install the Labview 2012 Run-Time Engine.
-You will then need to reboot your computer.
This version of Pro-Q Designer requires a Pro-Q V3 USB Dongle. I cannot make any replacement dongles because the company that supplied the dongles is no longer in business.
The Dongle.Drivers.zip file contains the drivers you need to get the Pro-Q V3 USB dongle recognized by Windows 11. If, after running the Full Installer, you cannot get the Pro-Q V3 Dongle LED to turn on, you may need to install these drivers manually. You will need to unzip these drivers and only use the driver files contained in the "64 Bit" folder. To install these drivers, you will left-click on the "sparkey.inf" file and select the "Install" option. You may need to disable Memory Integrity to install these drivers in Windows 11.
Happy Quilting, and thank you for purchasing Pro-Q Designer V3

P.S. The "Source code (zip)" and "Source code (tar.gz)" files are both empty files. Do not bother downloading them.
