____________
INSTALLATION
TouchChip Protector Suite installation is carried out by the Setup
wizard. It is recommended to read explaining texts in wizard
screens to avoid potential problems. The detailed description of
the installation procedure can be found in the user documentation.
If you are not using a built-in fingerprint reader, please wait
with connecting the reader to the computer until you are prompted
to do so by Setup. This will ensure an easy install of the hardware
driver. For more information about the hardware driver please refer
to the README.TXT file in \Drivers directory on the installation CD-ROM.
______________
SILENT INSTALL
Silent installation of Protector Suite is also possible. Run Setup.exe
in the Install directory on your CD-ROM.
Use the following syntax:
Setup.exe <PROPERTY=VALUE> /q /i
You can specify the following properties:
USERNAME
Name of user for registration of installation
COMPANYNAME
Name of company for registration of installation
INSTALLDIR
Installation directory
Example:
Setup.exe USERNAME="Test user" COMPANYNAME="MyCompany" INSTALLDIR="F:\Program Files\Protector Suite" /q /i
All properties are optional.
If you use Windows 98 or Windows NT, Microsoft Installer must be
installed on your computer. If it is not installed, reboot is required
on the beginning of the installation process.
To uninstall, use /x instead of /i.
WARNING: Silent install does not install hardware driver. For more information
about manual installation procedure consult README.TXT file in \Drivers
directory on the installation CD-ROM.
___________
SMS INSTALL
SMS Installations are also supported. Open SMS Administrator Console, create
a new package and set package properties in a standard way. Open the package
and select New-Program in Programs item. To the command line field, enter
Setup.exe /m yourmiffilename /q /i
Optionally, enter desired parameters as described in the Silent Install
section. Setup normally reboots at the end of installation process.
If you want to suppress all reboots during installation and reboot later
(after installing more programs), add REBOOT="ReallySuppress" to the list
of properties.

KNOWN PROBLEMS
Password Protector
Cannot register/replay console windows (created e.g. via cmd.exe (Win2000),
command.com (Win 9x))
FileDisk Protector
Under certain special circumstances FileDisk can cause problems
on Windows 98/ME systems with limited physical memory when large
FileDisk host files (typically several hundreds MB or more) are used.
In such a case we recommend to add more memory to the system or to use
smaller host files.
FileDisk Protector and Norton AntiVirus
Due to a problem in Norton AntiVirus 2001 (and possibly other versions of NAV)
on Windows 98/ME FileDisk host files do not display progress bar during
formatting. To avoid the problem, disable the Auto-Protect feature of NAV before
you create or format a FileDisk host file and reenable it after the operation
is completed.
Due to a problem in Norton AntiVirus 2001 (and possibly other versions of NAV)
the FileDisk host files cannot be formatted and mounted when Smart Scan
Technology is turned on. There are two possibilities how to avoid this problem.
a) Disable the Smart Scan Technology.
b) When Smart Scan Technology must be used you can open NAV Options
dialog and go to System | Exclusions. Add a new entry for *.fdp and enable
Include subfolders checkbox. Go to System | Auto Protect | File types to scan |
Select extensions and add .fdp entry.
Logon Protector and Check Point VPN-1 SecuRemote client
Check Point VPN-1 SecuRemote client cannot use its Single Sign-On feature
on Windows 2000/NT in connection with Logon Protector. The reason is that
both SecuRemote and Logon Protector try to use their own GINA modules. Only one
such module can be used in one system. We recommend to register the logon dialog
of SecuRemote in Password Protector instead of using Single Sign-On.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
