PhysX SDK System Software
PhsyX SDK is installed in two parts. In addition to the versioned SDK installation, you will need to install a SystemSoftware release (below) that supports your SDK. Unless there are problems, you should always use the latest version of the SystemSoftware, as it may address issues found in previous versions.
