  Installation Instructions for Windows 2000/XP 
  ( NOT valid for Plug&Play cards, see \readme.txt )

    ISA cards are different to Plug&Play cards. Because the presense of
    hardware cannot be detected automatically, the card(s) must be 
    added explicitely to the system.

    (1) If a previous version of INES IEEE488.2 GPIB is installed:
	Remove all previous installations of INES IEEE488.2 GPIB 
	by using <distribution-dir-or-drive>\tools\igclreg.exe 

    (2) Carefully configure the IRQ and IO settings of your card to 
        use non-conflicting resources. Resource conflict could damage
	your hardware. Disable all DMA channels. NOTE your settings!

    (3) Install (all) INES GPIB ISA card(s)

    (4) Power on again your computer.

    (5) Select (Windows)->(Settings)->(Control Panel)->(Add/Remove Hardware).
        The Add/Remove Hardware Wizard appears.
    
    (6) Select (Add/Troubleshoot a device), (Next). Windows does search for
        new Plug&Play hardware.

    (7) Select (Add a new device), (Next).
    
    (8) Select (No, I want to select hardware from a list), (Next)

    (9) Select (Other devices)

    (10) Select (Have Disk), direct Windows to your distribution disk or
        directory

    (11) Select the type of your INES GPIB card

    (12) Enter the resources assigned in step (2). If you cannot assign
        a resource because Windows reports it as allocated: Quit the
	(Add/Remove Hardware Wizard) and see (Troubleshooting Conflicting Resources) below.

    (13) Select (Yes)

    (14) Select (Start Hardware Installation)

    (15) Repeat starting with step (5) for each card not yet installed. Otherwise
        allow the (Add/Remove Hardware Wizard) to reboot your computer.

    (16) Use the (Device Manager) to verify the installation.
    
    (17) After the Hardware Wizard has finished, execute setup.exe from
        the installation CD-ROM (or the directory containing the download 
	content) and follow the instructions of the installation program. 
	This adds the generic software components to your computer.


    
  Troubleshooting Conflicting Resources

    If Windows reports Resources as being allocated:
    
    (1) there might be a real resource conflict with existing hardware.
       Reconfigure your cards and start again.

    (2) there might be remains from previously installation attempts,
       (icglreg.exe) was not able to remove automatically. In this case
       open the (Add/Remove Hardware Wizard), Choose (Deinstall Device)
       and deinstall the devices wrongly reported as conflicting.
