*************************************************************************
This package includes CRYPTO-BOX driver setup for Win32 & Win64 platforms,
implemented as MSM component (Windows Installer Merge Module) CBUSetup.msm

The component is digitally signed.

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

+ Detection of the operating system, installation and registration of 
appropriate device drivers for Windows x86/x64 and ARM64 platforms.

  NOTE: You do not need to restart your PC after device drivers are 
  set up. In case the CRYPTO-BOX is 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)
