be uninstalled from the system. This process differs depending on the version that is currently
installed on the system.
- For versions 2.1.5-26W or earlier, go to Start Menu / Programs / GX / UNINSTALL and
run – FULL UNINSTALL – as well as Start menu / Programs / GX / 32 bit version /
– FULL UNINSTALL – if applicable.
- For versions 2.1.6 or later, go to Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs and remove
all versions of the Passport Reader software.
• Once all previous versions of the software have been uninstalled, restart the computer.
Upon installation of the 32-bit version to a 64-bit PC, the 64-bit device drivers are
installed automatically. For 32-bit application development on 64-bit PCs, install the
32-bit version of the Passport Reader software as well.
