INSTALLING OR UPDATING X-SETUP PRO

X-Setup Pro does NOT contain any backdoor software: it *IS NOT* ad-based or spy-ware enabled! Your privacy *IS NOT* at risk by using X-Setup Pro!

X-Setup Pro does not interfere with any other system utility nor does it change any configuration by just installing it. Therefore, you can always install it and give it a try.

To install X-Setup Pro, simply start the EXE file found inside the ZIP archive. 

If a previous version of X-Setup Pro is already installed, the setup program will detect this and reuse the folder you have installed the previous version to. In case you wish to change this folder, you should first uninstall the previous version of X-Setup Pro and then execute the setup program again.

_____________________________________________________
SYSTEM SECURITY WATCHDOGS

Some firewall or anti-virus software allows you to activate a system security module which traces all programs started on your computer. These modules, when configured incorrectly, can cause X-Setup Pro to behave incorrectly and display incorrect error messages. 

If you are using this type of tool, please make sure that all application inside the X-Setup Pro path (normally C:\Program Files\X-Setup Pro\bin) are allowed to start, modifying and launching other programs. 

____________________________________________________
REQUIRED COMPONENTS

X-Setup Pro requires some system components that are include in every edition of Windows since Windows 2000 and upwards. X-Setup Pro will check itself for the availability of these components before it starts and will display an error if they are missing.

Please note that on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME or Windows NT setup might simply fail with several error messages. If this happens, please see DOC-ID-IN03 on our forum. Please go to http://www.x-setup.net/forum, click on "Search" and enter "DOC-ID-IN03".    

We regret this error, but this happens because some Windows version are no longer supported by Microsoft ("Out of Live").
