1. Before you begin

!IMPORTANT!

Prior to installing this version of the RocketPort 550 PCi device driver, any
earlier installed versions MUST BE REMOVED including all device information
files and registry entries. If you have earlier RocketPort 550 PCi drivers
installed then refer to Appendix A before continuing.

If you are installing a RocketPort 550 driver for the first time on the target PC
then continue below.


The Windows 98 device driver for the RocketPort 550 & RocketPort 550 Universal
controllers is supplied as a single self extracting file.

Prior to installing the RocketPort 550/RocketPort 550 Universal controller, the driver
files must be extracted to a folder on your P C’s hard disk.

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 \Win98 (on the CD) then
double click the file Win98drv.exe

( If you have downloaded the driver from Comtrol’s FTP 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 \RP550W98 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\RP550W98. If you have changed the target folder you must
remember to specify this path when required during installation.

Now that the files are extracted, you should shutdown Windows 98 in preparation for
the physical controller installation.
