Modular Installation
With the latest update to iCUE, we have changed how iCUE will be installed and
updated from this point forward. With our new modular back end, iCUE will no
longer consist of a single large package.
Instead, users will be downloading a very small installer that, when started,
will uninstall existing versions of iCUE and automate the downloading and
installation of modules. 
To address the previous experience of iCUE having a
large footprint (3+ GB), we have streamlined the experience by only installing
what is required to support your products.
For example, if iCUE only detects a K100 RGB Air Wireless keyboard, then the
software will only download two modules: iCUE Core and the K100 RGB Air
Wireless module.
As a result, iCUE will no longer need to host the
files to support products you currently do not own yet and will now only take
up a fraction of the hard drive space compared to previous versions.
If, in the future, as you add more iCUE-supported products to your setup, iCUE
will automatically detect them and install the additional modules you need for
the products to be fully supported. Users will also be able to choose and
install specific third-party plugins from our partners that share our
ecosystem. 
After this update, iCUE will no longer require a
complete uninstallation and installation of the software for each update.
