How to install en.x-cube-nfc4.zip?

I'm embarking on a project with the ST25 NFC chip. ST provides an XCube pack but I can't figure out how to install. MXCube complains that it can't handle the .zip file (en.x-cube-nfc4.zip). Should I have kept my old version of MXCube? I just updated to the latest..

    Unzip the file (en.x-cube-nfc4.zip) into the CubeMX repository area (your-home-dir/STM32Cube/Repository.

    From the CubeMX Project Manager tab, instead of "Use Default Firmware Location", browse to the path of your-home-dir\STM32Cube\Repository\en.x-cube-nfc4\STM32CubeExpansion_NFC4_V1.2.0

    That will include all of the NFC support you'll need. Then you can copy over parts of the NFC sample from the file en.x-cube-nfc4.zip which will likely have a different name by the time you read this.

    Hope this helps,

    Just unpack the archive, it doesn't integrate with CubeMX ​

    OK, Clive. Thanks for that. Glad I just started barking up this tree.

    Be well.
