WinIQSIM Installation on CD (Windows 95/98/2000/NT/ME/2000/XP)
==============================================================

Make sure that no other applications (especially no other applications using LabWindows CVI runtime engine) are running during installation of WinIQSIM.
After inserting the WinIQSIM CD, a file is displayed allowing you to install the WinIQSIM software on your computer. The Setup.exe program which is called up automatically under WinIQSIM\Install guides you through the following.

If this AutoRun function is deactivated when changing a CD on your computer, start the Start.pdf program by clicking
* Start => Run... in the taskbar or by a
* double-click on Start.pdf on your workstation CD-ROM drive.

If Windows then displays the "Open With" window, the Adobe Acrobat Reader program for reading the Start.pdf file is not yet installed. In this case, start the Setup.exe program in the Acrobat_Reader directory. 


Trouble-shooting installation problems:
---------------------------------------

If you are unable to install WinIQSIM, try this:

- Do not place the installation files onto a "subst"-mapped drive. Always install from a regular hard disk or network drive.
- Make sure the environment variable USERPROFILE exists and points to a writable directory.


Note:	Problems that may occur on your Win95 computer:
=====   ===============================================
* Error scenario: 
AMIQ cannot be addressed via the IEC/IEEE bus. The National Instruments card drivers seem to be loaded correctly.	
* Error cause:
Use of 16-bit National Instruments card drivers as used with Windows 3.1 prior to the introduction of Win95. These drivers also run under Win95 (since Win95 is compatible with Win3.1), but WinIQSIM cannot use them.	Error elimination:
Get (Internet: http:// www.natinst.com) and load preferably the latest drivers (version 1.3 at present) from NI for Win95. The old 16-bit drivers from NI are often still used when a PC is upgraded from Win3.1 to Win95. They may be recognized by the date of the *.dll files. If they have been generated prior to Sept.95 (when Win95 came on the market), they are part of the old version. We were unable to find a version number, only in the readme.txt we found version 1.0. In order to load the 32-bit drivers, the old 16-bit drivers have to be eliminated first, which is a bit laborious since "uninstall" is not provided by NI. The file for the NI software (typ. AT-GPIB) has to be deleted, the program group has to be deleted from the taskbar and the entry nivgpibd.386 from the system.ini file.
