Before you install this software, note the following:

• We post CRC and MD5 checksums with the packages in the Download area on our website. If you download an installer from our website, make sure that its checksum matches that given on the website. On Unix-style OSs (e.g., QNX Neutrino, Linux), you can use the cksum utility to calculate the CRC checksum. Microsoft doesn't support such utilities on Windows, but they're available from third parties.
• There are several QNX Development License streams that govern how the QNX CAR Platform for Infotainment can be used in different situations. The key on your license certificate will cause the appropriate license agreement to be displayed when you install the product; that development license governs your use of the product.

  Once you've installed the QNX CAR Platform for Infotainment, you'll find a copy of all the license agreements in base_directory/install/qnx-car/2.1, where base_directory is where you installed the software.

  For more information about licensing, visit the Licensing area of http://www.qnx.com, where you'll find details on our licensing model, types of licenses, etc., or email licensing@qnx.com.

• For information about features and known issues, see the release notes. For the most up-to-date version, go to our website, http://www.qnx.com, log in to your myQNX account, and then go to the Download area.

• If you installed QNX SDP 6.6 as an administrator, you must install this product as an administrator; if you installed QNX SDP 6.6 as a nonadministrator, you must install this product as a nonadministrator. Otherwise, the installer claims that you haven't installed QNX SDP.
• We provide the Korn shell (ksh.exe), which you'll find under ${QNX_HOST}/usr/bin (e.g., C:\qnx660\host\win32\x86\usr\bin). You may want to create desktop shortcuts for the executables you'll use often.
• On Windows, the QNX-provided echo.exe interprets the Windows \ separator as an escape character. As a result, environment variable settings won't work if you use \ as a path separator; use / instead. (Ref# 19924, J142704)
• If your PATH contains quotation marks, ln-w doesn't work properly. (Ref# 20046)

The System Profiler in the IDE requires a minimum color depth of 16 bits.

To install this product, do the following:

1. If you're using Windows 7, you might have to disable User Account Control (UAC), depending on where you want to install the software. (Ref# 77791, J237891)
2. Log in to your myQNX account on our website, and then go to the Download area.
3. Download the QNX CAR Platform for Infotainment package, qnx-car-2.1-nnnnnnnnnnnn.exe, where nnnnnnnnnnnn is a build number. The package is an executable (.exe) file.

   Windows might insert a number in square brackets before the first period in the filename, but these extra characters shouldn't cause any problems.

4. Verify that the checksum of the package matches the one given in the Download area.
5. Double-click the installer file in Windows Explorer or run it at the command line.
   Note: Windows XP may display a security warning when you install this product. You can verify the archive's checksum when you download the file from our website.
6. Follow the instructions on your screen.

After you've installed the QNX CAR Platform for Infotainment once, you can run the installer unattended on other machines:

1. Run the installer in graphical mode to generate a response file:

   installer-name –r path/installer-responses.txt
     

2. Use the response file to do further installations in unattended mode:

   installer-name –f path/installer-responses.txt –i silent
     

To set up the environment in a command shell, run:

base_directory\qnx660-env.bat

where base_directory is where you installed QNX SDP (see "Determining your base directory," below). If you can't remember where you installed this product, search for qnx660-env.bat. This file is in the base directory.

If you installed an evaluation copy of this product, and you've now received a commercial QNX license, do the following to add your commercial license:

1. Set up your environment and run addLicense.exe by entering the following at the command prompt:

   base_directory\qnx660-env.bat
   base_directory\install\addLicense.exe
     

   where base_directory is where you installed this product (see "Determining your base directory," below).

2. In the QNX License Key Entry dialog, fill in the field with the license-key information.
3. When you've finished entering the information, click Add to save the license-key information and configure your QNX tools to use this file.
4. After entering the license key, you'll be presented with the appropriate license agreement. You'll need to accept it in order to successfully add a license.

ls -lt `$QNX_HOST/usr/bin/find base_directory -name "*uninstall*.exe"`
