Installation
------------
To install the device driver and dll, first shut down the computer and unplug the power
cable. Insert the FlexCard hardware in the PCI-slot. Switch the power on and boot
your computer. 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.


Known Issues
------------
-The interrupt configured via fcbSetReceiveBufferLevelNotification is not signalled.
-Uninstallation of the setup is not complete when not the default target directory is
selected.


Please note:
------------
- On a Windows 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.
