MORE INFORMATION
Command-Line Switches:
SETUP.EXE Run from MS-DOS
/N - Sets up a shared copy of Windows from a network server to a
workstation or a user directory. This switch should be used when the
you want to run Windows from a network server. In this mode, Setup
only copies the few files that are necessary to personalize your
Windows configuration. This is used after the SETUP /A.
/I - Ignores hardware detection. During Setup, you will need to check
the accuracy of settings on the system information screen, and make
corrections if needed. This switch should be used in cases where the
hardware detection is suspected of causing Setup to fail.
/B - Sets up Windows with monochrome display attributes.
/T - Searches the hard drive for terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR)
programs, and notifies you about certain programs.
/C - Turns off the search for TSR programs.
/A - Administrative setup. It places Windows on a network server.
Setup expands and copies all files on every disk to a given directory,
and marks them read-only. After this is done, SETUP /N can be run from
the workstation.
/O:filespec - Specifies the SETUP.INF file.
/S:filepath - Specifies a path to the setup disk(s).
/H:filespec - Batch mode setup. Sets up Windows with little or no user
interaction. "Filespec" is the name of the system settings file that
contains user's configuration settings. If "Filespec" is not in the
directory from which Windows is being set up, the path must be
included.
/? - Displays instructions for running Setup from the MS-DOS prompt.
SETUP.EXE Run from Windows
/P - When invoked with this switch, Setup will only create the default
Program Manager groups.
