[Setup]

This section sets parameters for control of the Setup process.

Device Path

This parameter specifies whether Windows 95 should check a source installation path to find INF files, rather than looking only in the Windows INF directory when installing devices. If this parameter is set to 1, network administrators can later add INF files to a single source location to ensure that up-to-date drivers are installed any time a new device is installed on computers running Windows 95. However, set this value to 1 only if the installation source files are in a network directory (not floppy disks or CD).

Notice also that Devicepath=1 causes the entire INF database to be rebuilt each time a user changes a network component or changes drivers for any device.

Parameter	Devicepath
Values	0 = Do not add a source directory path for INFs 1 = Add the installation source directory to the path for finding INFs
Default	0

Emergency Startup Disk

This parameter specifies whether to create the emergency Startup Disk during Setup (the command-line override for this is /ie). For a setup script intended for hands-free installation, you might want to specify ebd=0 so that the user isn't prompted to insert or remove the floppy disk. If you need to specify ebd=1, you can also add a reboot=0 entry, so that Setup will not attempt to restart the computer while the floppy disk is in the drive.

Parameter	EBD
Values	0 = Do not create an emergency Startup Disk 1 = Create an emergency Startup Disk
Default	1

Express

This parameter specifies whether the user can provide input during Setup. If express=1, then Windows 95 Setup uses only the settings specified in MSBATCH.INF or built-in defaults and does not ask the user to confirm or enter input. This setting disables most of the user interface for Setup.

Parameter	Express
Values	0 = Allow user input 1 = Run Setup using only values in MSBATCH.INF
Default	0

Install Type

This parameter specifies the type of installation for Windows 95 Setup.

Parameter	InstallType
Values	0 = Compact 1 = Typical 2 = Portable 3 = Custom
Default	1

Installation Directory

This parameter specifies the directory where Windows 95 is to be installed or, for shared installations, the machine directory.

Parameter	InstallDir
Values	directory name
Default	Windows directory, if present

Pen Windows Warning

This parameter specifies whether to display a warning if an unknown version of Pen Windows is installed.

Parameter	PenWinWarning
Values	0 = Do not display the warning 1 = Display the warning
Default	1

Product ID

This parameter specifies the product ID for your site, which is printed on the Windows 95 compact disk or your Certification of Authenticity.

Parameter	ProductID
Values	string
Default	none

Save SUBOOT Directory

This parameter specifies whether to save the SUBOOT directory for Server-based Setup.

Parameter	SaveSuBoot
Values	0 = Delete SUBoot directory 1 = Save directory
Default	0

Time Zone

This parameter specifies the time zone to set on the computer.

Parameter	TimeZone
Values	String enclosed in quotation marks, as described in the following list
Default	The time zone currently set on the computer

Time zone strings
Afghanistan Alaskan Arabian Atlantic AUS Central Azores Bangkok Canada Central Cen. Australia Central Central Asia Central Pacific China	Czech Dateline E. Europe E. South America Eastern Egypt Fiji GFT GMT Greenwich Hawaiian India Iran	Israel Lisbon Warsaw Mexico Mid-Atlantic Mountain New Zealand Newfoundland Pacific Romance Russian SA Eastern SA Pacific SA Western		Samoa Saudi Arabia South Africa Sydney Taipei Tasmania Tokyo US Eastern US Mountain W. Europe West Asia West Pacific

Uninstall

This parameter is used to specify whether Setup should create a compressed backup version of the existing Windows and MS-DOS directories to be used for automatically uninstalling Windows 95. If you specify Uninstall=5, you also must add a value for BackupDir=path that specifies the directory where Setup should place the compressed backup files.

Parameter	Uninstall
Values	0 = Do not allow user to specify Uninstall options, and do not create backup files for uninstalling Windows 95 1 = Show Uninstall options for user to choose 5 = Do not show Uninstall options, but automatically create backup files for uninstalling Windows 95
Default	1

Verify

This parameter specifies whether to run Windows 95 Setup in Verify mode. This option is provided principally for use by OEMs. Most users have no reason to include this entry in a setup script.

Parameter	Verify
Values	0 = Do a full installation 1 = Run in Verify mode
Default	0

Version Checking

This parameter defines whether Windows 95 Setup will overwrite existing files automatically, even if the date of the local copy is later than the date for the file in the distribution source.

Parameter	VRC
Values	0 = Prompt user to confirm before overwriting more recent files 1 = Overwrite all without prompting for confirmation
Default	0
