Adding Program Groups and Items During Unattended Setup

   - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5 and 3.51
   - Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51

SUMMARY

To add additional Program Groups and Program Items automatically during Unattended Setup, modification of the PARTIAL.INF is required.

MORE INFORMATION

From a shared copy of Windows NT on a systems hard drive expand the PARTIAL.IN_ to PARTIAL.INF (expand partial.in_ partial.inf). Rename PARITIAL.IN_ to PARTIAL.BAK.

NOTE: The Windows NT version of EXPAND.EXE is required to properly expand the file.

There are four areas that have to modified/added:

1. (modified) [PartialDestinationVars]

                    <Group_Name>Dest      = $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
   
   

2. (modified) [InstallProgramGroups] - Modified

                     set <Group_Name>ToInstall = ^(<Group_Name>,1)
   
   

3. (added) [<Group_Name>Items]

                 Item_Name_1
                 Item_Name_2
   
   

4. (added) [<Group_Name>ItemsENG]

                 Item_Name_1  = "Item Description", Command Line, "Command
                                 Line Parameters", "Icon Resource File", icon
                                 offset
                 Item_Name_2  = "Item Description", Command Line, "Command
                                 Line Parameters", "Icon Resource File", icon
                                 offset
