MORE INFORMATION

Description of the switches:

/A - This switch is a generic Setup.exe switch that generates the message "This mode is not supported."

/G - If you use the syntax "setup.exe /g c:\logs\install.log", Setup creates a log file named Install.log in the C:\Logs folder. You can use this switch in combination with other switches.

/Q - You can use this switch to install the Proxy client without prompting the user for input. You can also use this switch in combination with other switches. "Setup.exe /Q0" shows the installation progress as the Proxy client is installed. After the Proxy client is installed, the user is prompted to click OK for Setup to finish and a reboot occurs automatically. If no other parameter is specified with the /Q switch, Setup defaults to /Q0. "Setup.exe /Q1" shows the installation progress as the Proxy client is installed, but after the installation finishes, the computer automatically reboots. "Setup.exe /QT" does not show any part of the installation process and automatically reboots the computer after the Proxy client is installed.

/R - This switch reinstalls the Proxy Server 2.0 Winsock client files without removing the existing files. After the Proxy Server 2.0 Winsock client installation finishes, the user is required to click OK to complete the Setup process. The user is then prompted to restart the computer. You can also use this switch in combination with other switches.

/U - This switch uninstalls the Proxy Server 2.0 Winsock client, including all Proxy Server 2.0 Winsock client files except shared files. The /UA switch removes all Proxy Server 2.0 Winsock client files, including shared files. You can also use this switch in combination with other switches. NOTE: The difference is that with the /UA switch, the shared Wspwsp.dll file in the Winnt\System32 folder is also removed. Also, the /U and /UA switches remove all Proxy Server Winsock client-related entries from the System.ini and Win.ini system files.

/Y - This switch does not copy any of the Proxy Server 2.0 Winsock client files to the hard disk. It only adds the configuration information to the System.ini and Win.ini files and the registry. You can also use this switch in combination with other switches.
