prior to installation.
2. Click on the self-extracting and self-installing setup
file and answer all prompts presented.
3. You will be prompted to reboot when installation is
complete.
Note:
By default, all general files (README.TXT, etc.) are copied
to the path <bootdrive>:\Program Files\Intel\Intel
Application Accelerator
4.1. INSTALLSHIELD* (AUTOMATED) INSTALL FROM HARD DRIVE OR
CD-ROM
1. Download the Intel(R) Application Accelerator
setup file and double-click to self-extract and to
begin the setup process.
2. The Welcome window appears. Click on the Next button to
continue.
3. The Software License Agreement window appears. Click on
the Yes button and the drivers begins to install.
5. The Setup Complete window appears. Select "Yes, I
want to restart my computer now" and click on the Finish
button.
6. To verify if the driver has been loaded correctly, refer
to Section 5.
************************************************************
* 5. VERIFYING INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE
************************************************************
1. The verification of the Intel(R) Application Accelerator
is different on a per operating system basis. Please
refer to the correct operating system subsection for
details.
A. For all operating systems supported:
* Run 'Start', 'Programs', 'Intel', then 'Intel
Application Accelerator'
* Double-click 'Application Accelerator'
* The main interface should now be displayed.
************************************************************
* 6. ADVANCED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
************************************************************
The following SETUP flags are available:
-? Help information for the setup flags
(shown below)
-S Silent install (no user prompts)
-B Forces a system reboot after installation
-P <path> Supplies target installation path
-A Extracts all driver files (does not install
driver) to <path> if -P is also supplied, or
the default directory otherwise
-N Installs all components except driver
-O <name> Supplies target Start Menu Program Folder
name if installing Companion applet
-L <number> Forces a particular language install (See
the product documentation for a table
mapping <number> to language)
-build Displays build number
-back Sets up a full windowed installer
*** "Package-for-the-web" requires that an additional -A be
placed before any flag. Therefore, an example file extraction
would be IATA_CD -A -A -P C:\<path> ***
Notes: Flags and their parameters are not case-sensitive.
Flags may be supplied in any order, with the
exception of the -S and -L flags which must be
supplied last. When using the -A flag, a target
path may be specified via the -P flag, and the -O,
-L, -S, and -N flags are ignored. When using the -P
or -O flags, a space is required between the flag
and the argument; when using -L, however, there
should be no space.
To load the just the driver as outlined in the Microsoft*
document, "Deployment Guide Automating Windows NT Setup,"
use the supplied TXTSETUP.OEM file included in this
package and insert the lines below into the UNATTEND.TXT
file. This method is available for both Microsoft* Windows*
NT* 4.0 and Windows 2000. (The TXTSETUP.OEM,
INTELATA.INF, and INTELATA.SYS file need to first be
extracted from the compressed .CAB file. To extract these
files, run 'SETUP -A -P <path>' as described above.)
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000:
// Insert the lines below into the UNATTEND.TXT file
