Please read the enclosed LICENSE.TXT carefully or browse to http://www.xteq.com/register/ for details. In short: It's 100% Freeware for home user and charity/non-profit organisations, but shareware for commercial institutions. _____________________________________________________ INSTALLING OR UPDATING XTEQ X-SETUP To install Xteq X-Setup, extract all files from the archive to a directory and start SETUP.EXE. After Setup has finished, this directory can be deleted. If you already have Xteq X-Setup installed, you can install this new version into the same path as the previous version. _____________________________________________________ GENERAL NOTICES ABOUT INSTALLING OR UPDATING X-SETUP - Xteq X-Setup does NOT contain any backdoor software: it *IS NOT* ad-based or spyware-enabled! Your privacy *IS NOT* at risk by using Xteq X-Setup! - Xteq X-Setup does not intereference with any other system utility nor does it change any configuration by just installing it (except adding some harmless empty lines to MSDOS.SYS on W9x/ME machines which the OS just ignores). Therefore, you can always install it and give it a try. - In some very rare cases, Anti-Virus software can cause X-Setup to crash (GPFing). In this case, please disable your Anti-Virus software before starting SETUP.EXE or using X-Setup. Especially, Norton AntiVirus seems to crash X-Setup. We suggest using the products from TrendMicro, see http://www.antivirus.com/ - If you have deactivated your Anti-Virus software and Setup still shows a GPF ("SETUP caused an invalid page fault in...") some of your system components are badly damaged. You might try to install the latest Internet Explorer from Microsoft which sometimes is able to fix the problem. If IE's setup also displays a GPF, the best solution is, sorry to say, FORMAT C:\. _____________________________________________________ UNINSTALLING XTEQ X-SETUP To remove Xteq X-Setup, use Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs. If the Control Panel is opened while you are uninstalling X-Setup, Setup can't remove the icon inside Control Panel because it's locked. If this happens, just close Control Panel, search for "XQXSetup.cpl" and delete it. PLEASE NOTE THAT UNINSTALLING X-SETUP DOES *NOT* REVERT ANY CHANGES YOU HAVE MADE USING X-SETUP !! _____________________________________________________ REQUIRED COMPONENTS Xteq X-Setup requires the Microsoft Scripting Engine (MSE) to work properly - this component is included by default in Windows 98 and upwards. You can also download the MSE for free from: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/vbscript/scripting.asp Beside this, HTML Help is needed as X-Setup does use a CHM file for its help system - HTML Help is included in Internet Explorer 3.0 or above. You can also download the HTML Help from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/tools/htmlhelp/wkshp/download.htm X-Setup will check for the availability of both components before it starts and displays an error message if they are missing. _____________________________________________________ SUPPORT FOR XTEQ X-SETUP Due to the huge success of Xteq X-Setup, we are bombed with hundreds of email per day. Because of this and as X-SETUP is mostly freeware, we can no longer respond to support requests, SORRY!

It's a Peer-2-Peer help network but we monitor this forum regular and provide direct help if needed. _____________________________________________________ OPERATION SYSTEMS SHORT CUTS Because Xteq X-Setup runs on all Windows 32bit OSes, short cuts (e.g. XP) are normally used instead of the full name of the operation system (Windows XP) because this saves a lot of space inside the UI. 95 = Windows 95 98 = Windows 98 9x = Windows 95 or 98 NT = Windows NT 4.0 ME = Windows ME 2K = Windows 2000 XP = Windows XP / 2002 _____________________________________________________ CONTACTING THE AUTHOR / XTEQ SYSTEMS To contact the author, write to TeXHeX@xteq.com To contact Xteq Systems, write to info@xteq.com or visit our website at http://www.xteq.com.
