                   Driver Installer/Uninstaller v2.8/2.6 Release Notes
                     Copyright (C) 2010 Silicon Laboratories, Inc.
		 --------------------------------------------------


This release contains the following components:

   * DriverInstaller.exe - Installation executable with embedded uninstaller. These executables
	are paired for installation of Silicon Labs driver sets. The uninstaller executable is
	embedded within the DriverInstaller.exe and are extracted during the driver installation
	to the installed directory (if it exists, if not it is copied to a standard Silicon
	Labs directory). The DriverInstaller.exe is driven by a setup.ini file which contains all
	the customization for the installation and install/uninstall modes.

   NOTE: This package contains the latest executable for use with a driver set. Simply drop in and
	replace the older installation EXE in your customized driver set. Rename the EXE file to your
	desired setup name, and it will be ready to run.

-----------------

Installer Version

	Bugs Fixed
	----------

	installation

Installer Version 2.7 /

	Bugs Fixed
	----------
	- Corrected problem in installation that caused incorrect directory to be
	listed in the regsitry to reference the uninstaller, which would cause error
	on uninstallation

Uninstaller Version 2.6

	Bugs Fixed
	----------
	- Updated to now use the install or program files directory for the uninstaller
	since the system directory is protected.
	- Made installer more robust, if it finds a driver with no preinstaller (such as
	Windows removing it) it will create one to remove the previous driver.
	

Installer Version 2.5 /
Uninstaller Version 2.5

	New Features
	------------
	- Updated to remove the Uninstaller from the system upon successful uninstall
	- Added Publisher, InstallLocation and Version keys to the uninstallation key

	- Added a sample INI file to the package


Installer Version 2.3 /
Uninstaller Version 2.2

	New Features
	------------
	- Updated so that when a device is plugged in and "ignored" (user clicks "Don't
	ask me again" when choosing not to install a driver for a device) the installer
	will remove and rescan those hardware IDs so the device will install


Installer Version 2.2 /
Uninstaller Version 2.2

	only generate a single OS non-specific uninstaller.	


Installer Version 1.4 /
Uninstaller Version 1.4
---------------------
	
	Bugs Fixed
	----------
	- Fixed issue of installing "read-only" files. Error messages are no longer displayed, and
	the application will allow read only files to be copied over or deleted. This applies to
	copying within the DriverInstaller.exe and deletion within the DriverUninstaller.exe.


Installer Version 1.3 /
Uninstaller Version 1.1
---------------------
	
	New Features
	------------
	- Added Update support into the installer so that drivers existing on the system
	that have been installed with this software can be updated.

---------------------
	
	New Features
	------------
	- Catalog files can be specified in the INF even if they are not present. An
	error is no longer generated when the copy fails because they are missing. This
	should make testing easier before WHQL certification is done, and the support for
	copying the Catalog files exists so that they can just be dropped into the installation.
