## Issue #5: Change in Intel Chipset Software installer starting from version 10.1.20378.8757

Intel has decided to replace the existing small `SetupChipset.exe` installer (approximately 2-3 MB in size) with a "new" one that is 105-106 MB. The difference is that the new large EXE installer contains two MSI files for x86 and x64 systems (each about 10 MB), an over 80 MB .NET Framework 4.7.2 package installer, and a 0.5 MB SetupChipset1.cab file with the license agreement. *This is a very strange move, as the actual INF and CAT files contained in these archives take up only 0.5 MB after compression.*

In future versions of Universal Intel Chipset Software (starting from 2026), I will add the ability to install the latest reduced-size MSI versions. These versions, like the old installer, will install silently in the background and update all INF files for available Intel devices in the system. Please note that the new installer appears in the list of installed programs as `Chipset Setup`, not as `Intel(R) Chipset Device Software`.
