IMPORTANT NOTES

luihlp.exe requires a specific directory and file structure so that it installs the files corectly.  This directory structure can be located anywhere on your computer's harddrive with the following restrictions:

- The patch must be extracted into an exclusive directory, i.e. one that will contain only the patch files.
  Do not use a system directory, such as anything below C:\Windows\ .
- .inf and .cat files must be present in the same directory as luihlp.exe
- All drivers specified in the .inf file must be respectively present in the i386 (32-bit) and amd64 (64-bit) folders.
- luihlp64.exe is required to install 64-bit drivers.

luihlp.exe will auto-detect whether the system requires 64-bit drivers and run luihlp64.exe if required.  luihlp64.exe is not meant to be called directly.
 	
Neither 32-bit or 64-bit driver files are deleted when uninstalling.
