| switch |
description |
| [batch] |
Specifies the name
and location of the file that contains Setup options. |
| /C |
Instructs Setup not
to load the SmartDrive disk cache. |
| /D |
Bypasses usage of
installed Windows configuration (ignores settings in existing SYSTEM.INI,
WIN.INI etc). |
| /ID |
Skips the disk-space
check. |
| /IE |
Bypasses the Startup
Disk Wizard. The %windir%\Command\EBD folder and the Emergency Boot Disk
are not created. |
| /IG |
Allows Setup to run on
some older Gateway and Micron computers with an early BIOS. |
| /IH |
Skips the registry
check. |
| /IL |
Loads the Logitech
mouse driver instead of the Microsoft mouse driver. Use this option if you
have a Logitech Series C mouse. |
| /IM |
Skips the memory
check. |
| /IN |
Runs Setup without
the Network Setup module.
Note: The /a and /n options are no longer valid. Use NETSETUP.EXE instead. |
| /IP |
Bypasses detection
of undocumented plug and play devices. |
| /IQ |
Skips the check for
cross-linked files. |
| /IR |
Bypasses detection
of system CMOS/BIOS. |
| /IS |
Doesn't run ScanDisk
system check. |
| /IT |
Bypasses checking for the
presence of "dirty" or "deadly" terminate-and-stay-resident programs (TSRs)
that are known to cause problems with Windows Setup. |
| /IV |
Skips the display
of billboards during an upgrade setup within Windows. |
| /IW |
Bypasses Microsoft
EULA licensing screens/dialog boxes. [EULA = End User License Agreement]. |
| /L |
Use this switch if you
have a Logitech mouse and want it enabled during Setup. |
| /M |
Bypasses playing
of Setup sounds (.WAV). |
| /N |
Runs SETUP without
using a mouse. |
| /NA |
Bypasses Windows/MS-DOS
program check. Valid values:
0 = Default.
1 = Windows programs not checked, MS-DOS programs blocked.
2 = MS-DOS programs not checked, Windows programs blocked.
3 = Windows and MS-DOS programs not checked. |
| /ND |
Bypasses MIGRATION.DLL
settings and forces Windows 98 to overwrite newer files (USE WITH CAUTION!).
Files that use .INF file ",,,32" flag force Windows 98 SETUP to keep newer
versions. |
| /NF |
Bypasses prompt to
remove floppy disk from the drive. Used for bootable CD-ROMs. Same as:
1. BOOTCD file present in the cabinet folder.
2. "BootCD=1" line present in MSBATCH.INF. |
| /NH |
Bypasses running
HWINFO.EXE at 0 percent files and RunOnce. |
| /NM |
Bypasses internal
processor detection, to allow Win98/95 install on systems that do NOT meet
Microsoft minimum requirements (i.e. 386, 486SX etc). Works especially for
Windows 98. |
| /NTLDR |
Bypasses existing
Operating System detection.
By default OEM/VAR Win95/NT full releases can be installed ONLY on a new
PC, without ANY previous OS, but this switch allows SETUP to circumvent
this "problem".
Also: create a new file in the root directory of your boot drive (size doesn't
matter) and name it NTLDR, with no extension. |
| /NX |
Bypasses SETUPX version
check. |
| /P |
Allows passing of
additional options directly to HW Detection Manager (SYSDETMG.DLL). Multiple
/P switches MUST be separated by a semicolon (;) without spaces.
| a |
Enables safe detection. Each detection
module will try safer detection methods. Safer detection methods may
not detect devices correctly. Default during Setup is enabled. |
| b |
Enables "Prompt Before" mode,
allowing step-by-step manual device detection. Default is disabled. |
| c |
Enables class detection. Class detection
is a mechanism for finding hints for a certain class of devices. For
example, adapter class detection looks for hints in the Config.sys
and System.ini files for CD-ROM drivers. If it does not find any,
Setup displays a CD-ROM check box asking if you have a CD-ROM drive.
Default during Setup is enabled. |
| d |
Detects the listed detection modules
(module name or device class name). Detection module names (such as
DetectPIC and DetectAHA154x) are found in the MSDET.INF file. Device
class names can be SCSIAdapter, net, and so on. (Usage d=detectpic) |
| e |
Enables Setup mode detection. Default
during Setup is enabled. Default in other cases is disabled. |
| f |
Enables "Clean Registry" mode. Creates
a NEW Registry from scratch before starting hardware detection. Ignored
if SETUP runs in GUI mode. Default is disabled. |
| g |
Controls the level (0-3) of progress
bar display. Maximum level is 3, showing all detected devices resources.
Default is 0. (Usage g=0). |
| i |
Bypasses detection of plug and
play BIOSes/devices not listed in MACHINE.INF. Default is disabled. |
| j |
Setup is forced to undo the results
of the "Setup /p i" switch. This switch should only be used after
a machine that required "Setup /p i" has updated their Plug and Play
BIOS. |
| l |
Controls the logging level (0-3) for
DETLOG.TXT. The default is maximum logging (3).
(Usage l=3) |
| m |
Enables Mini-windows mode. Enabled
only when Setup is run under MS-DOS. |
| n |
Enables No Recovery mode. Option can
be used to turn off the Windows 95 Setup recovery mechanism (for example,
this switch prevents the creation of the DETCRASH.LOG file). Default
is disabled. |
| o |
Specifies the trace output. The information
is written to the TRACELOG.TXT file in the current directory. This
option is available only in the Debug version of Sysdetmg.dll. (Usage
o=<file>, default file is TRACELOG.TXT) |
| p |
Enables performance timing logged
in DETLOG.TXT. Default is disabled. |
| r |
Enables Recovery mode. It causes Detection
to use the DETCRASH.LOG file, if found, for recovery. If this switch
is not enabled, Detection ignores and deletes DETCRASH.LOG even if
it is found. Switch is used if Safe Recovery is selected during Setup,
otherwise it is not used. |
| s |
Skips the listed detection modules
(module name or device class name). Detection module names (such as
DetectPIC and DetectAHA154x) are in the MSDET.INF file. Device class
names are SCSIAdapter, net, and so on. (Usage s=detectpic) [see d
switch] |
| t |
Specifies the trace level (0-9). Default
is disabled (0). This option is available only in the Debug version
of SYSDETMG.DLL. (Usage t=9). |
| v |
Enables Verify Only mode. Detection
has two stages:
1. Verify existing devices in the registry.
2. Detect new devices.
Switch forces Detection to perform only stage 1. Used by the PCMCIA
Wizard to verify legacy devices in the registry. Default is disabled. |
| x |
This switch excludes the listed resources
from detection. Available are:
- io(xxx-yyy,xxx-yyy,...)
- mem(xxxxx-yyyyy,xxxxx-yyyyy,...)
- irq(x,y,z,...)
- dma(x,y,z,...)
Switch protects resources so that no detection modules can access
them.
(Usage x=io(300-30f,240-24f),irq(7),dma(1) ) |
|
| /S |
Use this switch to use
an alternate Setup.inf file. |
| /T:<dir> |
Specifies the directory
where Setup will copy its temporary files. If the directory doesn't exist,
it will be created.
WARNING: Any existing files in this directory will be deleted. |
