Software Installation Instructions

WARNING!
You must reboot your system! If you have not used an InstallShield for Windows Installer program before, the Install Shield will need to install InstallShield installer files before actually installing the MDK. You will have to reboot your system after these files are installed. Please shut down all programs before running the InstallShield for the first time.

WARNING!
If you are upgrading from a previous MPI/XMP software release, you will need to remove or archive all previous releases. This will prevent any conflicts between old and new files. To remove the previous MPI/XMP software release, select Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs. Select the MPI/XMP Development Toolkit entry and click on the Add/Remove button.

NOTE: The MPI/XMP software release can also be removed by running the MDK InstallShield and choosing the "Remove" option.

The MPI/XMP distribution comes in two parts. The first part is an InstallShield distribution. Key components of the distribution are:
      . device driver (meixmp.sys for Windows 2000/XP/Vista)
      . firmware
      . MPI dynamic link library
      . utilities
      . sample applications

To install the MPI/XMP software release, insert the MDK CD-ROM. To start the set-up process, click on WinNTSetup.exe. Follow the InstallShield instructions. The InstallShield will take care of installing the DLL and will also set the PATH environment variable to \XMP\bin\ under the default installation directory.
