- 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.
-
- In case you have added your own tools to the
- "Programs" menu inside X-Setup, you need to copy the
- file TOOLS.INI from the X-Setup\bin folder to the
- new X-Setup\cfg folder after your have installed
- X-Setup. After restarting X-Setup, your old entries
- will be present in X-Setup again.
-
- _____________________________________________________
- 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:\.
-
- - Because X-Setup contains more than 700 plug-ins
- that are all created using VBScript, some
- Anti-Virus software may try to "analyze" every
- plug-in and thus slowing down the setup process
- of X-Setup dramatically. Normally, the setup
- process does not take any longer than two minutes
- but some users have reported setup durations of
- 30 minutes and more! If this happens to you,
- just cancel setup, stop the On-Access scanner of
- you Anti-Virus software and restart setup. After
- setup is finished, you can simply scan the
- entire \X-Setup folder to make sure that there
- are no viruses.
-
- _____________________________________________________
- 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 some system components that
- are include in every edition of Windows since
- Windows NT 4.0 and upwards. X-Setup will check
- itself for the availability of these components
- before it starts and will display an error if they
- are missing.
-
- _____________________________________________________
- REQUIRED COMPONENTS FOR WINDOWS 95/98
-
- Important: Windows 95/98 without Microsoft Office,
- Internet Explorer etc. has an outdated "OLEAUT32.DLL"
- which is required to run Xteq X-Setup. This means,
- if you are trying to execute SETUP.EXE, it will fail
- with the message "A connected device does not work" or
- "Method xxx not found in OLEAUT32.DLL"!
-
- To fix this issue, you need to download and install the
- updated COM library (Version 1.3 or later) from Microsoft.
-
- For Windows 95:
- http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom95/download.asp
-
- For Windows 98:
- http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom98/download.asp
-
- We regret this error, but this is an issue of our
- development environment since Windows 95/98 are no
- longer supported by Microsoft ("Out of Live").

- SUPPORT FOR XTEQ X-SETUP
-
- Due to the huge success of Xteq X-Setup, we are
- bombed with hundreds of emails per day. Because of
- this and as X-SETUP is mostly freeware, we can no
- longer respond to support requests via email, SORRY!
-
- If you need help with X-Setup, please see the Support
- topic inside the help file. If you can't access the
- help file from within X-Setup, since X-Setup does not
- work, open the folder "\help" inside the directory
- where you have installed X-Setup (normally C:\Program Files\X-Setup\)
- and double-click the "StartHelp" file.
