when you run pd, you can send various parameters to it to tell it how to behave. these are called command line arguments or parameters. type in 'pd -help' in the command prompt to see a list. in order to tell pd to use the zexy library, use the '-lib' command, or put all arguments in a batch file (a text file with the extension .bat) and run that. there are plenty of examples of peoples' command line argument settings on their respective webpages.
firstly - I'm not sure it's a good idea to run pd from within 'program files', I know there was an issue with spaces in the folder names a while ago, not completely sure. best be safe and move whole thing to c:\pd (!) then run:
pd -path c:\pd\zexy -lib zexy
this should enable zexy objects to load. if you want the help patches to appear when you right click on them and press help, I managed this by putting the help patches in doc\5.reference\zexy\ but I'm not too sure on the rules of how it finds these.
good luck

zexy may have installed the library file (.dll on win) to a folder not under your path (search for zexy.dll and see if it is in a directory in your 'path' argument) OR you may not be using the '-lib zexy' argument. Does the little display of hearts (I think thats what it looks like)
appear
in the output when zexy has been loaded?

hi, the zexy.dll is in C:\Program Files\pd\zexy what do you mean by the fact that I should use the "-lib zexy" argument ? thx loïs
