Installation and De-installation
================================
This release contains an installer/uninstaller utility. This utility
however does not configure the driver. Please be sure to update your
ssigd.inf file with appropriate settings for your display configuration
prior to installation. The installation program requires specific file
names, so if you have a different INF file for driver installation, you
must name it ssigd.inf and place it in the Drivers folder prior to
running the installation.
Do not move or alter the directories after unzipping the release
package. The installation utility uses relative path information, and
must be run from the Utilities folder, and also requires the Driver
folder. If the folders are moved or renamed, the installation utility
will not operate properly.
Also, be sure to not install this version of the driver with an
existing installation of a previous version of the driver. The
installation utility will not uninstall previous versions of the Intel
Embedded Graphics Driver, and you must begin from a fresh operating
system installation. Results are unpredictable if you install over a
previous version of the Intel Embedded Graphics Driver.
To run the installation, simply run the Setup.exe program located in
the Utilities folder of the installation. This must run from the
Utilities folder.
To uninstall this version of Intel Embedded Graphics Driver, run the
Setup.exe program (or SetupNT.exe for Microsoft Windows NT).
