*************************************************************************
1. Overview
*************************************************************************

This setup performs automatic installation of CRYPTO-BOX SC and 
CRYPTO-BOX XS/Versa drivers and related components depending on the 
operating system. The installer is a self-extracting tool which contains 
all files needed to support the CRYPTO-BOX SC and CRYPTO-BOX XS/Versa
models and is thus self-sufficient.

After the setup completes installation there is *no need* to reboot. In 
case the attached CRYPTO-BOX units are not recognized immediately after 
finishing CBUSetup, re-inserting the CRYPTO-BOX to the USB port will 
solve the issue. 


*************************************************************************
2. Supported Hardware
*************************************************************************

- CRYPTO-BOX SC Rev.1 and Rev.2, Firmware 2.2 and higher
- CRYPTO-BOX XS/Versa Rev.1 and Rev.2, Firmware 1.6 and higher, Smarx OS 
  or MPI formatted


*************************************************************************
3. Supported Operating Systems
*************************************************************************

The following operating systems are supported by CBUSetup: 

- Windows 11/10 ARM 64Bit (Build 21277 or higher)
- Windows 11/10 Intel 64/32bit
- Windows Server 2022/2019/2016/2012R2
- Legacy systems: - Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista and Windows XP (Intel 64/32bit)
                  - Windows Server 2012/2008R2/2008/2003 (untested with 
                    latest driver version)


*************************************************************************
4. Key Features
*************************************************************************

+ Detection of the operating system, installation and registration of 
appropriate device drivers for Windows 64/32bit and ARM64 platforms.

  NOTE: You do not need to restart your PC after device drivers are 
  set up. In case the attached CRYPTO-BOX units are not recognized 
  immediately after finishing CBUSetup, re-inserting the CRYPTO-BOX to 
  the USB port will solve the issue. 

+ Installation of legacy MPI 32Bit library (mpiwin32.dll)

+ Installation of SMRXCOM Smarx OS COM Object (Intel 64/32bit platforms only)

+ "Quiet" installation mode. This feature makes it possible to integrate the 
setup into other proprietary installations.

In both the "quiet" and the normal modes the setup returns exit codes which 
help external setup analyze how the installation went. Please, refer to the 
section titled "Exit Codes" below.


*************************************************************************
5. Syntax
*************************************************************************

Please, use the following syntax when running the setup:

CBUSetup.exe /? - get a help screen

CBUSetup.exe /Q /CRYPTOKEN - run setup in quiet mode and install the
                             CRYPTO-BOX drivers 

CBUSetup.exe /Q /U /CRYPTOKEN - perform "quiet" uninstallation of the 
                                CRYPTO-BOX drivers

CBUSetup.exe /Q /CRYPTOKEN /DRIVERONLY  - install the CRYPTO-BOX drivers 
                                          without any additional files 
										  (the SMRXCOM ActiveX COM object 
										  will not be installed)
										  
 
*************************************************************************
6. Exit Codes
*************************************************************************

As mentioned above, you can run the setup in a "quiet" and a normal mode. 
The "quiet" mode makes it convenient to redistribute the setup and include 
it into proprietary installations. By analyzing the return value of the 
setup, your proprietary installation can find out if CBUSetup.exe was 
installed successfully.

Below is a list of exit codes you may get from CBUSetup.exe:

0          No errors occurred.

-1         The installer could not detect your operating system.

-2         The user aborted installation.

-3         Wrong version of the operating system.

-4         The setup had an internal error. Please, contact your distributor to 
           notify about this problem.

-5         The user has requested the installer  to run in the "quiet" mode but 
           the device was set incorrectly. Run the installer with a help switch 
           (/? or /H) to see the command line syntax. The following command line 
           syntax is acceptable:

            CBUSetup.exe /Q /CRYPTOKEN

-6         The user does not have enough rights. Contact your System 
           Administrator.

-7         The installer could not perform registration of device driver(s).
           Please, run the installer again, and if the problem persists,
           contact your distributor.


Installation sample for IShield script (without exit code check):

function InstDrivers()
	string szPath,szTargetFile; 
begin  
    	szPath=TARGETDIR^"\\Drivers\\CTSetup\\CBUSetup.exe";
    	szTargetFile=WINSYSDIR^"\\CBUSetup.exe";
        CopyFile (szPath, szTargetFile); 
    	LongPathToQuote(szTargetFile,TRUE);
	LaunchAppAndWait (szTargetFile, "/Q /CRYPTOKEN", WAIT);
end;

function UnInstDrivers()
	string szTargetFile
begin                   
        szTargetFile=WINSYSDIR^"\\CBUSetup.exe";
    	LongPathToQuote(szTargetFile,TRUE);  
	LaunchAppAndWait (szTargetFile, "/Q /U /CRYPTOKEN", WAIT);
	DeleteFile(szTargetFile);
end;
