Intel

PROSet

for

Windows

Device

Manager

on

Older

Operating

Systems

On

systems

running

Microsoft

Windows

7

and

Microsoft

Windows

Server

2008

R2,

you

must

install

the

legacy

version

of

Intel

PROSet

for

Windows

Device

Manager.

If

it

is

available

on

your

install

media,

Autorun.exe

will

detect

your

operating

system

and

install

the

correct

drivers

and

software.

For

manual

installs,

the

software

and

installers

are

on

your

install

media

in

these

directories.

.\APPS\PROSETDX\Win32Legacy,

.\APPS\PROSETDX\Winx64Legacy

.\APPS\SETUP\SETUPBD\Win32Legacy,

and

.\APPS\SETUP\SETUPBD\Winx64Legacy

Note

that

the

legacy

version

of

the

software

will

not

change

on

every

release.

Installing

Drivers

and

Intel(R)

PROSet

for

Windows*

Device

Manager

You

must

have

administrator

rights

to

install

or

use

Intel

PROSet

for

Windows

Device

Manager.

Intel

recommends

the

following

procedure

for

installing

drivers:

1)

Cancel

any

Found

New

Hardware

Wizard

screens

that

open.

2)

Start

the

autorun

located

on

the

CD

or

in

your

download

directory.

3)

Click

"Install

Drivers

and

Software"

and

follow

the

instructions

in

the

install

wizard.

Intel(R)

PROSet

functionality

is

integrated

with

the

Windows

Device

Manager.

To

configure

Intel(R)

Ethernet

Adapters

and

Controllers,

open

the

Windows

Device

Manager.

Do

not

open

adapter,

team,

or

VLAN

properties

from

the

network

control

panel

as

you

may

be

prompted

to

reboot

your

system.

You

must

upgrade

PROSet

when

upgrading

drivers.

Failure

to

do

so

will

result

in

instability

and

missing

tabs

in

Windows

Device

Manager.

For

software

and

driver

versions

prior

to

Release

16.2,

if

you

have

Fibre

Channel

over

Ethernet

(FCoE)

boot

enabled

on

any

devices

in

the

system,

you

will

not

be

able

to

upgrade

your

drivers.

You

must

disable

FCoE

boot

before

upgrading

your

ethernet

drivers.

This

issue

is

resolved

in

Release

16.2

and

beyond.

Note

:

Support

for

the

Intel

PROSet

command

line

utilities

(prosetcl.exe

and

crashdmp.exe)

has

been

removed.

This

functionality

has

been

replaced

by

the

Intel

Netcmdlets

for

Microsoft*

Windows

PowerShell*.

Please

transition

all

of

your

scripts

and

processes

to

use

the

Intel

Netcmdlets

for

Microsoft

Windows

PowerShell.

and

Windows

2012

R2

are

the

last

operating

systems

to

support

the

Intel

PROSet

command

line

utilities.
