In this case, the target folder is a default value, which is "c:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\CHGBIOS for WindowsNT". It can be changed by editing a value following "szDir=" key word in the file named setup.iss. Also you have to modify contents of install.bat as appropriate. For instance, make sure install.bat has the default folder specified. [Return value] 0=Success 1=Invalid Parameter(Not in use) 2=BIOS file can not be opened.(Possibly not exist.) 3=Illegal Bios file 5=Shutdown not completed. 6=Driver not loaded. 7=Can not access registries. 8=Can not get the BIOS file size. 9=Can not read the BIOS file. 10=System resources are insufficient to complete the request. 11=BIOS can not be upgraded on this configuration. 12=Driver can not be started. 13=BIOS file image can not be created. 14=This machine is not enough battery. 8.Software distribution When you use software distribution tool, please use "/NOSHUTDOWN" option as follow. c:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\CHGBIOS for WindowsNT\NCHGBIOS <Bios file> /NOSHUTDOWN 9.Known issues and restrictions (1)Installation If installation fails, run event viewer to check whether TBIOSUP reported error log or not. If there is any log reported by TBIOSUP make sure that the machine on which setup runs is supported or configuration on it is appropriate. If installation is partly done but fails, retry installation after deleting the registry value named "CHGBIOS for WindowsNT" under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall If it again fails, erase the registry mentioned above once more and delete Uninst.isu under the Destination Location to which files are installed. (2)Uninstallation If Uninstall fails, reinstall by following the procedure (1) above and retry uninstall. (3)Silent installation The result of silent installation is output to Setup.log In setup.log, if ResultCode is equal to 0, installation has succeeded, and if not, it has failed. The second section, [Application], identifies the installed application's name and version, and the company name. The third section, [ResponseResult], contains the result code indicating whether or not the silent setup succeeded. An integer value is assigned to the ResultCode keyname in the [ResponseResult] section. InstallShield places one of the following return values after the ResultCode keyname: 0 Success. -1 General error. -2 Invalid mode. -3 Required data not found in the Setup.iss file. -4 Not enough memory available. -5 File does not exist. -6 Cannot write to the response file. -7 Unable to write to the log file. -8 Invalid path to the InstallShield Silent response file. -9 Not a valid list type (string or number). -10 Data type is invalid. -11 Unknown error during setup. -12 Dialog boxes are out of order. -51 Cannot create the specified folder. -52 Cannot access the specified file or folder. -53 Invalid option selected. An example of a Setup.log file for a successful InstallShield silent setup of "CHGBIOS for Windows NT" is shown below: [InstallShield Silent] Version=v5.00.000 File=Log File [Application] Name=CHGBIOS for WindowsNT Version=1.0 Company=TOSHIBA Lang=0009 [ResponseResult] ResultCode=0 Known errors are as follows: -5 setup.iss does not exist -12 CHGBIOS for WindowsNT is already installed. Currently running OS is not supported. CHGBIOS for WindowsNT is probably not supported by this machine. The machine is using Widnows2000. Toshiba Common Modules is not installed. AC adapter is plugged out. (4)TBIOSUP If TBIOSUP fails to start, event logs are reported. If there are no logs reported, make sure that the machine to upgrade BIOS is supported by this tool. Some known logs are as follow. *EventID 3 Memory resource was reserved by another driver. *EventID 21 A conflict has been detected between two drivers or between this driver and NT system which claimed two overlapping memory regions. -> These are reported if a fixed memory range accessed by TBIOSUP is already used by any other driver or OS. This physical memory range is 64KB from 0xE0000. In this case it is suggested to change the conflicted memory range for this kind of driver if possible or disable the driver which accesses it and tries to run setup again. (5)TBIOSSVC If TBIOSSVC isn't running when BIOS upgrade is in progress, messages to indicate the status are not displayed. (6)NCHGBIOS If specified BIOS file is appropriate but contains unsupported data for "CHGBIOS for Windows NT", it does not upgrade BIOS but returns 3 as an error code which means Illegal Bios file. In this case please use CHGBIOS.EXE to update BIOS. (7)On Windows 2000 Professional 1) You have to install Toshiba Common Modules when you update BIOS using "CHGBIOS for Windows NT". 2) Under Windows2000, the screen blacks out after BIOS updating and then the system reboots. Wait a few minutes until the system begins to reboot. (8)Others 1) Before installation and uninstallation, do not run event viewer. This prevents the installation/uninstallation program from updating the part of the components or deleting it.Download Driver Pack
