Installation
------------
To install the device driver and dll, first insert the FlexCard Cyclone II SE
hardware in the 32-Bit PCMCIA-Slot. After a short time the operating system 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 Instructions_for_Use.pdf file.


Please note:
------------
On a Windows XP and Vista system a warning dialog will appear during the
installation. As the FlexCard device driver isnt 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, you have to install the Windows
Installer 2.0 package. Normally the setup package will try to download
the package from the web. The Windows Installer 2.0 can also be manually
downloaded from

http://download.microsoft.com/download/WindowsInstaller/Install/2.0/NT45/EN-US/InstMsiW.exe

After installation of the Installer 2.0 package, restart the computer and start the installation
of the device driver and dll as described above.
