Please read the enclosed LICENSE.TXT carefully or

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.

_____________________________________________________
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
