A note about Operating System support for the Intel(R) PRO/1000 T Desktop Adapter. The drivers for the Intel(R) PRO/1000 T Desktop Adapter are only supported for Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows Millennium edition. Windows 95 and original Windows 98 do not support the NDIS 5 driver specification to which the driver was written. II. A note about computer names in Microsoft networks There cannot be more than one computer with a particular name on the network at any time, even during installation. Consequently to deploy Windows 9x on multiple computers, you must manually change the value of the computer name. Different configuration managers exist to overcome this hurdle in enterprise OS deployments. For more information on deploying Windows 95/98/ME in an enterprise network, consult the Windows 95/98 resource kit. III. Setting up an install directory on the file server Note: The network share Z:\PUSH is used here as an example path to the distribution folder. The distribution folder is where the setup files (Setup.exe and .CAB files) for Windows 9x reside. During the first step of the install, the client will connect to the distribution folder with IPX or TCP/IP. Before an unattended server based setup of Windows 9x can occur, a directory needs to be prepared. 1. Copy the Win9x setup folder from the Windows CD to Z:\PUSH. Use Explorer, Winfile or XCOPY in order to maintain the same directory structure as on the CD. 2. Use the pushcopy.bat batch file located in the Windows\Push directory on the Driver CD to copy the necessary files to Z:\PUSH or alternatively copy the entire Driver CD to Z:\PUSH. Note: PUSHCOPY.BAT must be run from the Windows\Push directory on the CD or CD image. The command to copy the Windows 9x/ME files to the Z:\PUSH directory is: PUSHCOPY Z:\PUSH W9X Note: By default pushcopy.bat copies all of the files required to install the driver and PROSet II and PROSet II will be be installed during the push installation. Comment out the following line in the [RunOnce.BatchDelay] section if you do not to install PROSet II. HKEY_CURRENT_USER,%KEY_RUNONCE%,BatchRun0,,"c:\progra~1\Intel\Proset2\proset.exe MsiPath=c:\Progra~1\Intel\Proset2 /qn" 3. Review the copy of MSBATCH.INF within the Z:\PUSH directory. Make any changes needed to customize the install. At a minimum you should change the ProductKey= entry in the [Setup] section, the Name= and Org= entries in the [NameAndOrg] section, and the ComputerName= entry in the [Network] section. Note: Be sure to read the comments in the [RunOnce.BatchDelay] section and uncomment the appropriate batch commands for your installation. IV. Deployment Methods There are many ways to perform an unattended installation or upgrade including but not limited to: - Setting up a login script that executes a setup statement when each user logs in - Inserting an object in an email message that runs setup when the user clicks it - Using Microsoft SMS server to run Windows 9x Setup - Inserting a floppy that shares a drive on the network and runs setup from the shared drive - Copying the files to a local drive and then running an unattended setup from there - Use the Boot Strap Agent and an installed PXE Server. See the Boot Agent Users Guide for deployment suggestions and strategies for each OS. In the end each Network Administrator will find the easiest way to accomplish this goal for his or her own network. To avoid possible areas where an unattended installation might be halted we recommend you use one of the following setup command lines for Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Millennium respectively: Note: Do not include the argument "/ID" if there is any doubt that there is sufficient free hard disk space. Windows 95: SETUP /IS /IW /IM Windows 98: SETUP /IS /ID /IM /IE /IW - "/IV" turns off billboards and speeds up the setup. - "/ID" turns off free diskspace check Windows Millennium: SETUP /IS /ID /IM /IE /IW /IV V. Where to get help The Windows Resource kits contains detailed information on unattended setups and deploying Windows 95/98 in an enterprise environment. Microsoft's support web site is also a good source: http://search.support.microsoft.com/ VI. Files needed for the unattended installation of drivers and PROSet II. The following files are copied into the Z:\PUSH directory by the PUSHCOPY.BAT copy utility. The directory structure must be maintained to achieve a successful installation. Z:\PUSH (From the root directory of the CD) 8255INDI.DLL 8255XDEL.EXE NET5579X.INF NET82557.DIN NET55A9X.INF NET8254D.INF NET8254D.DIN E1000W9X.SYS E100BNT5.SYS E100BNT.SYS E100B.SYS E100BC.CAT WOL558.VXD E100BD.CAT E1000D.CAT (From the \Windows\Push\Win9x directory on the CD) MSBATCH.INF CUSTOM.INF (From the \DOS directory on the CD) E100BODI.COM (From the \TOOLS directory on the CD) DIAG100.EXE DIAG1000.EXE Z:\PUSH\MEFILES (From the root directory of the CD) 8255INDI.DLL 8255XDEL.EXE NET82557.DIN NET8254D.DIN E1000W9X.SYS E100BNT5.SYS WOL558.VXD Z:\PUSH\PROSET PROSET.EXE PROSET.MSI INSTMSIA.EXEDownload Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
