Windows* 98 Push Install Instructions - Operating system support for Intel(R) PRO 10/100 and 1000 Desktop Adapters - Computer names in Microsoft* networks - Setting up an install directory on the file server - Deployment methods - Where to get help - Files needed for the unattended installation of drivers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating system support for Intel PRO 10/100 and 1000 Desktop Adapters The drivers for the Intel PRO 10/100 and 1000 Desktop Adapters are supported only for Windows 98 Second Edition. Windows 98 Retail does not support the NDIS 5 driver. 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 98 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 98 in an enterprise network, consult the Windows 98 resource kit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setting up an install directory on the file server NOTE: The network share Z:\PUSH noted in this section is an example path to the distribution folder. The distribution folder is where the Windows setup files (Setup.exe and .CAB files) reside. During the first step of the install, the client connects to the distribution folder with IPX or TCP/IP. Before an unattended server based setup of Windows can occur, you must prepare a directory. Copy the Windows setup folder from the Windows CD to Z:\PUSH. Use Explorer, Winfile or XCOPY to maintain the same directory structure as on the CD. Use the pushcopy.bat batch file located in the \APPS\SETUP\PUSH directory on the Intel CD to copy the necessary files to Z:\PUSH or alternatively copy the entire Intel CD to Z:\PUSH. NOTE: PUSHCOPY.BAT must be run from the \APPS\SETUP\PUSH directory on the CD or CD image. The command to copy the Windows 98 files to the Z:\PUSH directory is: PUSHCOPY Z:\PUSH W98 (For Windows 98). By default, pushcopy.bat copies all files required to install the driver. 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: Make sure that you read the comments in the [RunOnce.BatchDelay] section and uncomment the appropriate batch commands for your installation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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. Use the method that best suits your network situation. To avoid possible areas where an unattended installation might be halted, use one of the following setup command lines for Windows 98 respectively: Windows 98: SETUP /IS /ID /IM /IE /IW - "/IV" turns off billboards and speeds up the setup. - "/ID" turns off free diskspace check NOTE: Do not include the argument "/ID" if you believe that there is insufficient free hard disk space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where to get help The Windows Resource kits contains detailed information on unattended setups and deploying Windows 98 in an enterprise environment. Microsoft's support web site is also a good source: http://search.support.microsoft.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Files needed for the unattended installation of drivers. The following files are copied into the Z:\PUSH directory by the PUSHCOPY.BAT copy utility. The directory structure must be maintained to successfully install the drivers. From the PRO100\WIN98SE directory of the Intel CD 8255INDI.DLL 8255XDEL.EXE E100B9x.DIN E100b9x.INF E100b9xa.INF E100BNT5.SYS E100BNT.SYS WOL558.VXD From the \PRO1000\WIN98SE directory on the Intel CD E1000W9x.DIN E1000W9x.INF E1000W9X.SYS From the APPS\SETUP\PUSH\WIN98SE directory on the Intel CD CUSTOM.INF MSBATCH.INF From the PRO100\DOS directory on the Intel CD 100BODI.COM From the APPS\TOOLS directory on the Intel CD DIAGS.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.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
