INSTALLING OR UPDATING XTEQ X-SETUP

 To install Xteq X-Setup, extract all files from the 
 archive to a directory and start SETUP.EXE. After 
 Setup has finished, this directory can be deleted.

 install this new version into the same path as the 
 previous version.

_____________________________________________________
GENERAL NOTICES ABOUT INSTALLING OR UPDATING X-SETUP

 - Xteq X-Setup does NOT contain any backdoor 
   software: it *IS NOT* ad-based or spyware-enabled! 
   Your privacy *IS NOT* at risk by using Xteq X-Setup!

 - Xteq X-Setup does not intereference with any other 
   system utility nor does it change any configuration
   by just installing it (except adding some harmless 
   empty lines to MSDOS.SYS on W9x/ME machines which
   the OS just ignores). Therefore, you can always 
   install it and give it a try.

 - In some very rare cases, Anti-Virus software can 
   cause X-Setup to crash (GPFing). In this case, 
   please disable your Anti-Virus software before 
   starting SETUP.EXE or using X-Setup. Especially,
   Norton AntiVirus seems to crash X-Setup. We 
   suggest using the products from TrendMicro, see
   http://www.antivirus.com/

 - If you have deactivated your Anti-Virus software
   and Setup still shows a GPF ("SETUP caused 
   an invalid page fault in...") some of your system
   components are badly damaged. You might try to 
   install the latest Internet Explorer from 
   Microsoft which sometimes is able to fix the 
   problem. If IE's setup also displays a GPF, the 
   best solution is, sorry to say, FORMAT C:\.

UNINSTALLING XTEQ X-SETUP

 To remove Xteq X-Setup, use Start -> Settings ->
 Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs. If the Control
 Panel is opened while you are uninstalling X-Setup,
 Setup can't remove the icon inside Control Panel
 because it's locked. If this happens, just close
 Control Panel, search for "XQXSetup.cpl" and delete
 it.
 
 PLEASE NOTE THAT UNINSTALLING X-SETUP DOES *NOT*
 REVERT ANY CHANGES YOU HAVE MADE USING X-SETUP !!

REQUIRED COMPONENTS

 Xteq X-Setup requires the Microsoft Scripting Engine 
 (MSE) to work properly - this component is included 
 by default in Windows 98 and upwards.

 You can also download the MSE for free from:
 http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/vbscript/scripting.asp

 Beside this, HTML Help is needed as X-Setup does use
 a CHM file for its help system - HTML Help is included
 in Internet Explorer 3.0 or above.

 You can also download the HTML Help from:
 http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/tools/htmlhelp/wkshp/download.htm
 
 X-Setup will check for the availability of both 
 components before it starts and displays an error 
 message if they are missing.
