1.3 Overview
The Intel® PROSet/Wireless software v 9.0 has been radically changed from previous versions. The user
interface is completely redone as is the underlying software. The installer for the software has also
changed but many of the same functionalities have been maintained.
• There are now multiple .msi files that are installed due to the modular design of the application.
The installation is now done through an application called iproinst.exe.
• The default installation of iproinst.exe can be altered with a series of command line parameters.
• Iproinst.exe can optionally install/reinstall/upgrade the driver in coordination with the application.
Further details of the above flexibility are provided below in the Command Line Option section.
