Installation

System requirements#


Operating system	Windows 10 or Windows 11
Screen	Touchscreen, portrait or landscape; resolution from 1280 × 800
Additionally required	Microsoft WebView2 Runtime (already present on current Windows installations)
For printing	A printer set up in Windows
For cloud, mail and web photo album	An internet connection, at least occasionally

Without an internet connection the booth keeps working: capture, layout, print and gallery need no network. Only sending, cloud upload and the licence check catch up later.

32-bit or 64-bit#

There are two installers. Both contain the same features, with one exception:

64-bit — the normal choice. Only here are modern Sony Alpha cameras supported through the official Sony SDK.
32-bit — only for old machines running 32-bit Windows, or for camera drivers that exist in 32-bit only.

Installing#

Run the installer: RAWCaptureBooth_..._x64_Setup.exe or ..._x86_Setup.exe.
Choose the language, then accept the licence terms and the privacy notice. The language chosen here also sets the language of the application; it can be changed later in the admin area.
Confirm the target folder. The default is the Windows program folder.
Choose the additional tasks:

Desktop icon and Start menu entry — preselected on a first installation.
Start with Windows — useful for kiosk operation, so the booth comes back on its own after a power cut. Can be changed later under "System Settings" > "System".

Finish the installation and start the application.

Installer page "Select additional tasks" — The three checkboxes decide about the desktop icon, the Start menu entry and starting together with Windows.

Where the data lives#

The program itself sits in the program folder, while everything that changes lives in the profile of the signed-in user:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\RAWCaptureBooth\
├── config\      device settings
├── events\      per event: settings, layouts, graphics, pictures
├── storage\     working files of the current session
├── logs\        logs for troubleshooting
└── backups\     backups

Uninstalling leaves this folder in place, so pictures and settings survive a reinstall.

First launch#

On the very first launch a short setup assistant sits on top of the start screen. It covers language, admin access and licence. See First start.

Updating#

An update is installed with the same installer; no uninstall is needed. Settings, events and pictures are kept. The software reports new versions itself and shows the list of changes.
