2. Extracting the Driver Files to the PC’s Hard Disk

Using Windows Explorer, locate the self extract file.

If you have a Comtrol supplied CD then open the folder \WinXP (on the CD) then

double click the file WinXPdrv.exe

(If you have downloaded the driver from Comtrol’s web site then you should open the
folder containing the downloaded self extract file. NOTE: The filename may differ
from the above.)

The self extractor dialog will appear. The default target folder (for the extracted files)
is C:\Comtrol\Installations\RP550XP and will be displayed in the ‘Unzip to folder’
box

You may change the target folder as you wish, but note that the remainder of this
document

assumes that the extracted driver files are located in

C:\Comtrol\Installations\RP550XP. If you have changed the target folder you must
remember to specify this path when required during installation.

Click Unzip

Click OK

Click Close

Now that the files are extracted, you should shutdown Windows XP in preparation for

installing the RocketPort 550 or RocketPort/BroadPort 550 Universal controller(s) into
the PC.
