# Installing the Base Driver and Intel® PROSet via the Command Line

Installation Methods

Base Driver Installation

Intel® PROSet for Windows* Device Manager Installation

Intel PROSet on Legacy OSs Installation

Command Line Options for msiexec.exe

## Installation Methods

The base driver install utility (SetupBD.exe) allows unattended install of base drivers from a command line.

Intel® PROSet for Windows* Device Manager is supported on Microsoft* Windows* 2000, Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows Server* 2003. Use DxSetup.exe to Install PROSet for Windows Device Manager.

Intel PROSet is supported on all other legacy Microsoft Windows operating systems. Use the Microsoft Windows Installer Service to install the PROSet MSI package. Windows 2000, Windows Me, and the Windows XP operating systems have Windows Installer Service installed by default. However, you must use a bootstrap program (PROSet.exe) to install Windows Installer Service in Windows 98, Windows 98SE and Windows NT* 4.0.

| NOTES: Windows XP x64 and Windows Server 2003 x64 do not support unattended driver installation. Intel® PRO/10GbE adapters do not support unattended driver installation.

## Base Driver Installation

### Command Line Options

SetupBD.exe supports the following command line switches.

| NOTE: You must include a space between switches.

Switch | Description
/s | silent install with no reboot
/r | force reboot (must be used with the /s option)
/u | uninstall
/infdir directory_name | search for inf and driver files only in the specified directory

Examples:

Option | Description
SetupBD | Installs and/or updates the driver(s) and displays the GUI. On Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, and Windows Me reboot options are displayed. No reboot is required for other OSs.
SetupBD /s | Installs and/or updates the driver(s) silently.
SetupBD /s /r | Installs and/or updates the driver(s) silently and forces a reboot.
SetupBD /u | Uninstalls all drivers from the system.
SetupBD /infdir x:\infdir | Installs and/or updates the driver(s), looks for inf and driver files only in the specified directory

### Other information

| NOTE: If you uninstall an adapter's driver from Windows Device Manager, you must reboot before using SetupBD.exe to install a new driver.

You can use the "/r" option only with a silent install (i.e. with the "/s" option). Because a restart is not required with Windows 2000 and newer operating systems, the "/r" option will be ignored when used with those operating systems.

On the Windows NT 4.0, operating system Intel PROSet, NMS and ANS are also installed during the driver installation. You do not need to install Intel PROSet separately after installing the drivers.

## Intel PROSet on Legacy OSs Installation

Intel® PROSet II is shipped for Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows Me, and Windows NT*. On Windows NT, Intel PROset is automatically installed when SetupBD.exe is used to install the drivers.

### Command Line for Windows 98, Windows 98SE, and Windows Me

By default, Windows Installer Service is not installed on Windows 98 and Windows 98SE. The PROSet.exe utility located in the same folder as PROSet.msi is used to install Windows Installer Service and Intel PROSet II.

Command Line Install Examples:

The following will install Intel PROSet II.

> PROSet.exe /qn /liew C:\inst.log

Command line uninstall examples:

> msiexec.exe /x D:\apps\PROSet\WN98SEME\PROSet.msi REBOOT= ReallySuppress

> msiexec.exe /x {2B8D4AFB-05D0-49F3-82E3-B7F4D1043CEF} REBOOT= ReallySuppress

| NOTE: Uninstalling or upgrading Intel PROSet on Windows 98, 98SE and Me requires a reboot to clean up the cached MSI package. You can suppress the reboot from the command line.
