It is strongly recommended to close all running applications and login as 
Administrator before LIN08GR60 installation. It helps to avoid an access
error during system icons installation and updating Windows Registry.

Run the SETUP.EXE program from the LIN08GR60 installation directory of the 
distribution kit.

Follow the prompts and instructions of the installation program.

The installation program copies all needed files to the target directory. 
It is strongly recommended to select valid target directory name.
The directory name must not contain spaces.

File FILELIST.TXT in the installation root directory contains a complete 
directory structure and list of files included in this release.

It is necessary to install Adobe Acrobat Reader version 5.0 or newer to 
view the LIN08GR60 User's Manual.

The LIN08 driver installation will occupy approximately 1 MB 
of disk space.

1.2. Uninstallation

To uninstall LIN08 Driver Software use one of the following:
  - "Uninstall" icon in the LINKit for GR60 Program Folder in Windows
    Start/Programs menu or
  - "Add/Remove Programs" applet in the "Control Panel" folder.

Delete LINKitGR60 root directory and all its subdirectories to remove the data
created during LIN08GR60 Driver usage.
