Installation
------------
To install the FlexCard driver, first insert the FlexCard Cyclone II SE hardware in the
32-Bit PCMCIA-Slot. After a short time Windows will show the "New Hardware Wizard" dialog.
As the device driver will not be installed using the "New Hardware Wizard", click on the
Cancel button to abort the wizard. Now double click on the setup file. The installation
wizard will start immediately and guide you through the installation process. Further
information can be found in the document "Instructions for Use".


Update from previous version
----------------------------
Connect the FlexCard hardware to your computer. Deinstall the FlexCard software. This
can be done from the Windows software panel or from the start menu. Restart your computer.
The FlexCard hardware is found and Windows tries to install the driver. Select Cancel,
because the driver will be installed via the setup. Start the setup. The installation
wizard will guide you through the installation process.

NOTE: If the following error message appears "An error occured installing the package.
Windows Installer returned '1638'.", you already have installed the FlexCard software.
You need to deinstall the software before you install a new one.


Please note:
------------
On a Windows XP and Vista system a warning dialog will appear during the installation.
As the FlexCard device driver isn’t certificated by the Microsoft Hardware Quality Labs,
you have to click Continue anyway to continue the installation.

If the setup process couldn't be started, install the Windows Installer 3.1 or 4.5
package. The Windows Installer can be downloaded from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=889482fc-5f56-4a38-b838-de776fd4138c

After installation of the Windows Installer, restart the computer and start the installation
of the FlexCard Setup as described above.

If you start a FlexCard application and an error message appears that says fcbase.dll is
missing, insert the FlexCard. When the Windows Hardware Wizard appears, select that you don't
want to look online on the Windows Update homepage for the software. Then, select that the
software should be installed automatically. The problem should be solved now.
