ST Microelectronics 3 Axis Digital Accelerometer Installer
==========================================================

General
-------
This installer package is composed of:
ReleaseNote.txt  - this file
setup.exe        - an InstallShield executable

Execution of setup.exe requires administrator privileges.

Installer Options
-----------------
Calling setup.exe without command line options results in a default install of all features supported by 
this installer package. This includes drivers for the sensor device as well as the applications contained
in this package.

The installer also provides the following features selected via command line switches specified when 
running the installer executable setup.exe:

/? or /help
Provides a list of the supported command line switches

/s
This runs the installer in silent mode - no pop up windows or dialogs are presented to the user. If a reboot is required once installation is complete, the system will not be rebooted automatically.

/APPLICATION
Installs the application only, no drivers are installed. This is expected to be used on
systems where the drivers are already installed

/v"EXTRACTDRIVERS=<path>"
Extracts the drivers contained in the installer package to the specified folder.

/v"LOGFILE=<path-to-log-file>"
By default the installer creates a default log file located in c:\Program Files\ST Microelectronics\setup_st_3d_accelerometer.log. 
This option allows the user to specify a user defined path and name for the log file, for example /v"LOGFILE=c:\Log Files\setup.log".
