SENTINEL SYSTEM DRIVER VERSION 5.39.2 README.TXT Copyright (C) 1991-2001 Rainbow Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved ****************************** IMPORTANT NOTE ******************************* When you run the setup.exe program to install the driver, it will automatically update your version of the Windows Installer if necessary. It will not provide any prompts before doing this. If you are not sure you want to update the Windows Installer, do not run this program. ****************************** IMPORTANT NOTE ******************************* The Sentinel System Drivers provide a communication path between your protected application and the Sentinel key. The driver allows multiple programs to all access the Sentinel key on a multi-tasking operating system. This version of the driver contains a new installation method using the new Windows Installer. This allows you to install the driver on any Windows 9x/NT/2000 system just like a regular application. This readme file describes the installation procedure for the Sentinel System Driver. If you are installing the driver for DOS, Windows 3.x, OS/2, or any non-Intel Windows NT machine, you must use the old installer. The old installer is located in the "Legacy" directory of the driver media. Also, the old installer has been kept to allow developers that are not yet ready to migrate to the Windows Installer to keep their old installation methods. There are some limitations to doing this, however. The old installer does not support installing only the USB driver; you must use the new installer to do that. This README file provides information on product installation, new features, last-minute news, and where to go for more information or to report problems. for more information refer to the complete documentation: SentinelDriverInstall_Start.htm. ----------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS ----------------------- 1.0 Installing the Product 1.1 Installation 1.2 Installation Options 1.3 Merge Modules 2.0 What's New in This Release? 2.1 Changes Since the Last General Release (PD-5.39) 2.2 Changes Since PD-5.38 2.3 Problems Fixed 3.0 Late-breaking News 4.0 Known Problems 5.0 Where to Go Next? 6.0 Reporting Problems ------------------------------- 1.0 INSTALLING THE PRODUCT ------------------------------- This section contains what you should know before you install this product as well as installation instructions. -------------------------- 1.1 Installation -------------------------- 1. If you have the driver on CD, place the CD in the computer and it should automatically run the installation program. 2. Otherwise, run the "setup.exe" from the root directory of the driver media. 3. If you do not have the correct version of the Windows Installer, it will automatically be installed for you. 4. If setup detects an older version of the Sentinel System Driver, you will be prompted to confirm the upgrade. The older version is uninstalled immediately after you confirm the upgrade. If you cancel out of the installation after this, the older version will not still be installed. 5. Select either "complete" or a "custom" installation. "Complete" will install both the parallel and USB driver. 6. If you select "custom," you can choose whether to install parallel, USB, or both. Keep in mind that if your operating system does not support USB, the installer will not install it even if you select it. 7. Continue on the installation and select "Install." 8. Depending on the operating system and the configuration of the computer, you may be prompted to reboot. ------------------------------------- 1.2 Modification/Removal Instructions ------------------------------------- 1. Go to the Control Panel from the "Start" menu. 2. Select "Add/Remove Programs." 3. Look for the item that says "Sentinel System Driver" and select it. 4. The installer will allow you to modify, repair, or remove the installation; select which option you would like and follow the instructions. 5. If you select "modify," you can add in or remove the parallel or USB driver later. 6. Depending on the operating system and the configuration of the computer, you may be prompted to reboot. ------------------------ 1.3 Installation Options ------------------------ The Sentinel System Driver Installer offers many different command-line options to control the installation. This allows developers to install the driver on their end users' systems without prompts. For more information on these options, refer to the online guide, SentinelDriverInstall_start.htm. ----------------- 1.4 Merge Modules ----------------- The driver contains three merge modules which will allow you to "merge" the Sentinel System Driver installation into your own package. This can only be done if you are using a Microsoft Windows Installer package. For more information on doing this refer to the online guide, SentinelDriverInstall_start.htm. --------------------------------- 2.0 WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE? --------------------------------- This section contains information on new features and fixed problems for this release. ----------------------------------------------------- 2.1 Changes Since the Last General Release (PD-5.39) ----------------------------------------------------- 1. The USB driver is Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) certified for Windows 2000. The driver is unchanged from the 5.39.0 version but has undergone the WHQL tests to be certified for use on Windows 2000 operating systems. This allows for Windows 2000 Logo compliance for applications that use the Sentinel SuperPro USB hardware keys. 2. There have been some changes to the merge modules, including some new custom actions. These are fully documented in the merge module online guide, SentinelDriverInstall_Start.htm. 3. The Sentinel System Driver installer and merge modules pass all the Microsoft ICE (Internal Consistency Evaluation) tests. Passing these tests is required for Windows 2000 logo compliance. Although the installer is not Windows 2000 logo compliant, when the merge modules are used in another installer, they will not cause the installer to fail due to ICE tests. 4. The merge module file names had spaces in them which caused them to fail Microsoft's Internal Consistency Evaluation (ICE) tests. Thus, the merge modules had to be renamed to conform to this change. This may require re-adding the merge modules to your installation project if you are using them. It may be possible to just rename the modules back to their original filenames, depending on your installer package. -------------------------- 2.2 Changes Since PD-5.38 -------------------------- 1. The USB SuperPro driver can be installed alone. Before this version, you always had to have the parallel driver installed to use the USB driver. In order for you application to take advantage of this new feature, it will have to be rebuilt using the latest libraries. 2. You can prevent the virtual device driver (VDD) from being installed on Windows NT or 2000. The VDD is only necessary for older DOS and Win16 applications. 3. The 5.39 driver supports the new SuperPro Net hardware key. The SuperPro Net cannot be seen on any driver version before 5.39. 4. The driver uses the new Windows Installer (version 1.1) released with Windows 2000. This installer supports all Windows operating systems back to Windows 95. The Microsoft Windows I
