Installation and Remove


There are two operation modes, Windows UI and command line, to execute installation and remove. The most popular is the Windows UI mode that provides convenient user interface and systematic operation. The command line mode, also called as silent mode, need user append more parameters behind SETUP.EXE as answer to make the setup program silence without pop any dialogs.

There are possible two types setup package you may have. One is compressed as a zip file includes visible setup and driver files. Another one is made as a self-extracted-execution file. In the following, we will show you the steps to complete driver installation and remove with both package types.


Windows UI mode

If the downloaded file is ZIP-compressed format, please extract it to proper location in your hard disk first. Then launch the SETUP.EXE by double-clicking. Otherwise, you could double-click the self-extracted-execution file and wait for few seconds for the self-extraction. The extracted file will be deleted automatically after setup has been terminated.


First time execution

If it is the first time to execute the setup package, you will only have the choice of installation.
Maintenance

After the first time execution, you could have choice to make Update and Remove. You will see two options, Update and Remove in the first shown dialog. If you are going to update the driver, please active the Update radio button and press next button to enter next steps. Else, if you are going to remove the installed driver in your system, please active the Remove radio button and press next button to enter next steps.
Control PanelAdd Remove Programs

There is another path to remove the installed driver is to go through ?Add Remove Programs? service of control panel. An uninstall item is added after install , VIA Platform Device Manager, to handle all the installed VIA driver components. You could select the VIA IDE Bus Master item in the list box of Remove option.


Silent mode

The silent mode are usually applied to system maintainer for servicing hundreds systems that wont have interactive user interface. They would execute the setup through command line in console or batch file execution without closing any popped dialog popped or pressing next buttons. In addition, the command line parameters of these two types of downloaded file format get few differences.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
