INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE ************************************************************ General Installation Notes: 1. The operating system and the Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility must be installed on the system prior to installation. 2. Click on the self-extracting and self-installing setup file and answer all prompts presented. 3. You will be prompted to reboot when installation is complete. Note: By default, all general files (README.TXT, etc.) are copied to the path :\Program Files\Intel\Intel Application Accelerator 4.1. INSTALLSHIELD* (AUTOMATED) INSTALL FROM HARD DRIVE OR CD-ROM 1. Download the Intel(R) Application Accelerator setup file and double-click to self-extract and to begin the setup process. 2. The Welcome window appears. Click on the Next button to continue. 3. The Software License Agreement window appears. Click on the Yes button and the drivers begins to install. 5. The Setup Complete window appears. Select "Yes, I want to restart my computer now" and click on the Finish button. 6. To verify if the driver has been loaded correctly, refer to Section 5. ************************************************************ * 5. VERIFYING INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE ************************************************************ 1. The verification of the Intel(R) Application Accelerator is different on a per operating system basis. Please refer to the correct operating system subsection for details. A. For all operating systems supported: * Run 'Start', 'Programs', 'Intel', then 'Intel Application Accelerator' * Double-click 'Application Accelerator' * The main interface should now be displayed. ************************************************************ * 6. ADVANCED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ************************************************************ The following SETUP flags are available: -? Help information for the setup flags (shown below) -S Silent install (no user prompts) -B Forces a system reboot after installation -P Supplies target installation path -A Extracts all driver files (does not install driver) to if -P is also supplied, or the default directory otherwise -N Installs all components except driver -O Supplies target Start Menu Program Folder name if installing Companion applet -L Forces a particular language install (See the product documentation for a table mapping to language) -build Displays build number -f2 Creates a log file in with ; this is to be used during silent installation. -noqfe Prevents Microsoft patch from being installed. The patch prevents a blue screen from occurring when attempting to play audio content from CDs in digital mode on Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, and Windows Me. *** "Package-for-the-web" requires that an additional -A be placed before any flag. Therefore, an example file extraction would be IATA_CD -A -A -P C:\ *** Notes: Flags and their parameters are not case-sensitive. Flags may be supplied in any order, with the exception of the -S and -L flags which must be supplied last. When using the -A flag, a target path may be specified via the -P flag, and the -O, -L, -S, and -N flags are ignored. When using the -P or -O flags, a space is required between the flag and the argument; when using -L and -f2, however, there should be no space. When using the -f2 flag, a log file name and path must be specified. To load just the driver as outlined in the Microsoft* document, "Deployment Guide Automating Windows NT Setup," use the supplied TXTSETUP.OEM file included in this package and insert the lines below into the UNATTEND.TXT file. This method is available for both Microsoft* Windows* NT* 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. (For Windows NT 4.0, the TXTSETUP.OEM, INTELATA.INF, and INTELATA.SYS file need to first be extracted from the compressed .CAB file. For Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the idechndr.inf, IdeBusDr.sys, idechndr.sys, and Txtsetup.oem files need to be extracted. To extract these files, run 'SETUP -A -P ' as described above.)
