2 Introduction
This guide describes how to install the Kvaser Leaf interface under Windows XP. The
information given here is also valid for Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003,
and Windows Vista, since the steps are basically the same.
This document is applicable to all types of the Kvaser Leaf.
The driver installation packages and device firmware updates are available on our web site
1
and also on the Kvaser CD, which you received together with the hardware when you
purchased it.
Since the hardware is essentially the same this guide will refer to the devices as just Kvaser
Leaf.
Please read this entire document before installing or upgrading the device or its driver
routines.
