SUMMARY
The following information is displayed when typing "Setup/?" (without the
quotes) from Command Prompt under Windows NT or Windows NT Advanced Server:
Microsoft Setup
SETUP [/?] [/f] [/i <INF Src File>]
[/c <Script Section>] [/s <Src Path>]
[/d <Dest Path>] [/t <Var> = <Value>]
[/n] [/v]
/? - generates this Usage message.
/f - turns off blue background.
/i - defaults to current directory + 'SETUP.INF'.
/c - defaults to 'Shell Commands'.
/s - defaults to Current Working Directory.
/d - optional destination, mandatory on setup to share.
/t - set INF <var> to <value>, multiple /T is valid.
/n - setup to share mode
/v - turn on INF syntax checking.
Of these switches, /?, /I, /S, /D, and /N are supported only for an
administrative setup of Windows NT or Windows NT Advanced Server, which
involves creating an installation which can be used for network
installations of Windows NT. When performing an administrative setup from
Windows NT or Windows NT Advanced Server, it must be a setup consistent
with the operating system type. For example, you cannot perform a Windows
NT administrative setup from a Windows NT Advanced Server installation.
Of the above switches, the following are not supported, and should not be
used: /F, /C, /T, and /V.
The System Guides for both Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server
contain the following additional warning about Setup:
IMPORTANT: Do not use the MS-DOS or OS/2 copy command, the MS-DOS XCOPY
command, or the Copy command in File Manager to install Windows NT files
on a network server. You must use the Windows NT setup command.
If you install this way, the information on the Emergency Repair Disk
may or may not be accurate in assessing and repairing system damage, and
is therefore not supported.
