* INF_INST.EXE - USB Pre-Installation program for Windows 98/ME/2000/XP *
*************************************************************************

What is INF_INST.EXE?
---------------------
The program "INF_INST.EXE" allows you to pre-install the USB-Driver INF 
file. With a pre-installed INF file, Windows is able to find and install 
the driver automatically. This greatly simplifies, or even eliminates the 
customers task.

How does pre-installing the INF file work?
------------------------------------------
o With a pre-installed INF file, Windows knows the location of the driver.

o You should install the INF file before you plug in the Matrix device 
  for the first time (e.g. You can carry out the pre-installation on your
  customers target system with your set-up tool).

o When you plug in the Matrix USB device for the first time with the 
  INF files pre-installed, the Windows Plug&Play manager will appear as 
  normal. The difference is that you won't have to select the driver 
  location (CD or directory).  You only have to press the "Continue" 
  button ignoring any settings in the Plug&Play Wizard. Windows will now 
  automatically find and install the driver. That's all.


What you should know about the delivery of your software:
---------------------------------------------------------
o You must include the installation program "INF_INST.EXE" and the 
  driver files 'IWUSB.SYS' and 'IWUSB.INF' when you deliver the unit to 
  your customer.

o Copy the files (e.g. with your set-up tool) to a directory of the 
  target installation hard disk.
  IMPORTANT: The driver files and the pre-installation program must be 
             placed in the same directory.


o Start the program "INF_INST.EXE" from the directory to which you copied 
  it.

o Do not remove or rename the directory with the driver files after 
  installation is complete. If it is necessary to move or to rename the 
  directory with the driver files, The "INF_INST.EXE" program needs to be 
  re-run from the new location. 

o Do not forget that drivers can only be installed under Windows 2000/XP 
  by users with the necessary access authorisation, for example the 
  administrator.

The pre-installation program "INF_INST.EXE" can be started in different 
modes:

  1. With Messages - INSTALL/REPLACE the INF file
     Call:  inf_inst.exe 

     In this mode all messages will be displayed for the installation of 
     the INF file.


  2. Without Messages (Silent Mode) - INSTALL/REPLACE the INF file
     Call:  inf_inst.exe -i

     In this mode the programm will install the INF file in 'silent mode' 
     without to display of a success message.
     Only error messages will be displayed.


  3. Without System-Check Message - Do not display any SYS-Message
     Call:  inf_inst.exe -s

     On Windows 95/NT systems the option '-s' will deactivate the system 
     message: "This Program only can run under Windows 98/ME/2000/XP !"
     This option allows you to integrate the driver installation program 
     into your SETUP routine and run it on all Windows platforms without 
     any inconvenient system messages.

  NOTE: The parameter '-s' and '-i' can be combined.
        Example:  inf_inst.exe -i -s

---------------------------------------------------------------------
