* 6.  ADVANCED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
************************************************************

The following  SETUP flags are available:
  -?           	   Help information for the setup flags 
		   (shown below)
  -S           	   Silent install (no user prompts)
  -B           	   Forces a system reboot after installation
  -P <path>    	   Supplies target installation path
  -A           	   Extracts all driver files (does not install 
		   driver) to <path> if -P is also supplied, or 
               	   the default directory otherwise
  -N           	   Installs all components except driver
  -O <name>    	   Supplies target Start Menu Program Folder 
               	   name if installing Companion applet
  -L <lang code>   Forces a particular language install (See 
		   Section 3 for a table mapping <lang code> 
               	   to language)
  -build       	   Displays build number
  -f2 <path\name>  Creates a log file in <path> with <name>;
		   this is to be used during silent
		   installation.
  -noqfe       	   Prevents Microsoft patch from being
                   installed.  The patch prevents a blue screen
                   from occurring when attempting to play audio
                   content from CDs in digital mode on
                   Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, and Windows Me.


*** "Package-for-the-web" requires that an additional -A be
placed before any flag.  Therefore, an example file extraction
would be IATA_CD -A -A -P C:\<path> ***

Notes:  Flags and their parameters are not case-sensitive.  
        Flags may be supplied in any order, with the 
	exception of the -S and -L flags which must be 
	supplied last.  When using the -A flag, a target 
        path may be specified via the -P flag, and the -O, 
        -L, -S, and -N flags are ignored.  When using the -P 
        or -O flags, a space is required between the flag 
        and the argument; when using -L and -f2, however, there 
        should be no space.  When using the -f2 flag,
	a log file name and path must be specified.

To load just the driver as outlined in the Microsoft*
document, "Deployment Guide Automating Windows NT Setup," 
use the supplied TXTSETUP.OEM file included in this 
package and insert the lines below into the UNATTEND.TXT 
file.  This method is available for Microsoft* Windows* 
NT* 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. (For Windows NT 4.0,
the TXTSETUP.OEM, INTELATA.INF, and INTELATA.SYS files need to
first be extracted from the compressed .CAB file.  For
Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the idechndr.inf, IdeBusDr.sys,
idechndr.sys, and Txtsetup.oem files need to be extracted.
To extract these files, run 'SETUP -A -P <path>' as described
above.)

Microsoft Windows NT 4.0:
  // Insert the lines below into the UNATTEND.TXT file
  
  [MassStorageDrivers]
  "Intel Ultra ATA Controller" = OEM

  [OEMBootFiles]
  INTELATA.INF
  INTELATA.SYS
  TXTSETUP.OEM

Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP:

  // Insert the lines below into the UNATTEND.TXT file
  
  [MassStorageDrivers]
  "Intel(R) 82801BA Ultra ATA Controller" = OEM
  "Primary IDE Channel" = OEM
  "Secondary IDE Channel" = OEM 
 
  [OEMBootFiles]
  idechndr.inf
  IdeBusDr.sys
  IdeChnDr.sys
  Txtsetup.oem

The IprtCnst.dll file must be placed in the following
folder in your directory structure in order to be loaded
during driver installation:

C:\I386\$Oem$\$$\System32

Please refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base
article for information on why the IprtCnst.dll file
cannot be listed in the [OEMBootFiles] location in the
unattend.txt file:
