    C:\WINDOWS\TEMP) on the system to install this software.


Please check with your system provider to determine which 
operating system and Intel chipset are used in your system.  



************************************************************
* 4.  INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE 
************************************************************
This software can be installed in two modes: Interactive or 
Silent.  The Interactive Mode requires user input during
installation; the Silent Mode requires NO user input.

************************************************************
* 4A.  INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE IN INTERACTIVE MODE
************************************************************
1.  Check the System Requirements.  The operating system 
    must be fully installed and running on the system prior 
    to running this software.

2.  Close any running applications.  You may experience some
    difficulties if you don't do this.

3.  Un-zip the InstallShield* installation program files 
    into a temporary directory.

4.  Run the InstallShield installation program, SETUP.EXE.

5.  You will be prompted to agree to the license agreement.  
    If you do not agree, the Installer will exit prior to 
    extracting any files.
    
6.  Follow the screen instructions and use default settings 
    to complete the setup once the operating system has 
    rebooted.

7.  At this point, the installation of the Intel® INF 
    Installation Utility is complete.  


************************************************************
* 4B.  INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE IN SILENT MODE
************************************************************
1.  Check the System Requirements.  The operating system 
    must be fully installed and running on the system prior 
    to running this software.

2.  Close any running applications.  You may experience some
    difficulties if you don't do this.

3.  Un-zip the InstallShield* installation program files 
    into a temporary directory.

4.  Run the InstallShield installation program:
        SETUP.EXE -b -s  (for silent install with auto-reboot)
           - OR -
        SETUP.EXE -s     (for silent install without auto-reboot)

5.  The utility will perform the necessary updates and record
    the installation status in the following system registry 
    key:
	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\INFInst

6.  If the utility was invoked with the "SETUP -b -s" mode,
    the system will automatically reboot if the update was
    succesful.

    NOTE:  The system MUST be re-booted for all device updates to take
           effect.

7.  To determine whether the install was successful, verify 
    the value of the 'install' value.

    Value	Type	Data		Description
    ------	----	----           	-----------
    install     String	"success"	the installation was successful
         		"fail"          the installation was not successful
		        		no inf files were copied to the 
                                        system		

    reboot	String	"Yes"   	a reboot is required to complete 
                                        the installation
         		"No"		no reboot is required to complete 
                                        the installation		
				
    version     String	<varies> 	the current version number of the 
                                        Intel(r) INF Installation Utility

* 6.  IDENTIFYING THE SOFTWARE VERSION NUMBER
************************************************************
The version of the software included in the distribution
package is specified in the file, RELNOTES.TXT.



************************************************************
* 7.  TROUBLESHOOTING
************************************************************
It is assumed that the system requirements from Section 2 
above have been satisfied.

Issue:      System locks up during Device Manager Remove or 
            during restart.

Solution:   System lockup can occur during Restart as a 
            result of several possible system issues.  In 
            the event of system lockup, restart the machine 
            and view Device Manager.  If devices are listed 
            properly and system experiences no further 
            problems, then .INF file restore process was 
            successful.  If devices are not configured 
            correctly try re-running the procedures outlined 
            in Section 3.

            If this does not fix problems or further 
            problems are experienced, re-install the 
            operating system.


Issue:      After running the setup program and rebooting the
            machine, Windows claims that it cannot find one 
            of the following files:
                  ESDI_506.pdr

Solution:   Click Browse in the dialog box where this problem
            occurs and locate the
                  <Windows>\System\IOSubsys
            directory and click OK.  The system should
            be able to locate this file in this directory 
            and continue re-enumerating for the new devices.


Issue:      After running the setup program and rebooting the
            machine, Windows claims that it cannot find one 
            of the following files:
 
                  UHCD.SYS
                  USBD.SYS
                  USBHUB.SYS

Solution:   Click Browse in the dialog box where this problem
            occurs and locate the
                  <Windows>\System32\drivers

            directory and click OK.  The system should
            be able to locate this file in this directory 
            and continue re-enumerating for the new devices.


Issue:      After performing the silent install, the 
            HKLM\Software\Intel\InfInst key was not created 
            or the data of the value "install" is not 
            "successful".

Solution:   This is caused by one of the following scenarios:
	       - the current system does not contain 
                 a supported operating system, or
               - the current system does not contain 
                 a supported chipset

            Verify the System Requirements in Section 3.
