Windows 95 Push Installation with Microsoft Client v.03 Files Used ---------- PUSH\NETJ3171.INF INF install file for the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter driver PUSH\MSBATCH.INF INF configuration file used for PUSH install Overview -------- This process requires advanced network administration skills. You should be thoroughly familiar with Windows 95 setup procedures in a network environment prior to performing the push installation. These files are sample configuration files that allow a basic Windows 95 unattended push installation using the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter with the NDIS3 miniport driver. The push installation allows Windows 95 to be installed from a Network server. This assumes that the Windows 95 source files have been copied to the server using the NETSETUP.EXE utility. For more information on NETSETUP.EXE see the Windows 95 Resource Kit, Chapter 4. General Instructions -------------------- 1. Integrate the above NETJ3171.INF to your Windows 95 source files on the server. Replace the NETJ3171.INF file on the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Configuration and Driver disk with the NETJ3171.INF file included in this archive (you may want to rename the original NETJ3171.INF to save it) Run the INFINST.EXE utility. When asked for an INF file, insert the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Driver Diskette and point to the NETJ3171.INF. This process integrates the HP 10/100TX driver files into the Windows 95 source on the server. For more information on the INFINST.EXE utility see Chapter 5 of the Windows 95 Resource Kit. 2. Go to the root directory where the Windows 95 source files reside, and rename the existing MSBATCH.INF to MSBATCH.BAK. Copy the MSBATCH.INF located in this archive (PUSH\MSBATCH.INF) to the root directory of the Windows 95 source on the server. When you run SETUP, it will use this MSBATCH to control the setup. 3. Once you have a basic push install then modify the MSBATCH.INF as you desire. For more information on MSBATCH please see the Microsoft Resource Kit, Chapter 5 and Appendix D. ============================================================================ Windows 95 Push Installation with Novell's Client 32 Files used ---------- PUSHCL32\NETJ3171.INF INF install file for the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter driver PUSHCL32\MSBATCH.INF INF configuration file used for PUSH install PUSHCL32\FIXCL32.EXE Executable for Client 32 fix Overview -------- These files address a problem in the Novell Client 32 installation. This fix keeps the entire push installation fully automated. This assumes that the server has been setup for Windows 95 push installation and the Novell Client 32 installation files has been integrated into the base Windows 95 push installation files on the server. (See Novell Technical document TID2905964 for more information). This routine will ensure that the registry entry STATICVXD=NWLINK2.VXD is set correctly to allow the HP 10/100TX Windows 95 workstation running Client 32 to attach to NetWare server. With out this patch the registry entry will be set to STATICVXD=NWLINK.VXD which will prevent the workstation from attaching to a NetWare server. General Instructions -------------------- 1. Add/Merge the lines below to your MSBATCH.INF. [Install] addReg=fixcl32.Reg [fixcl32.Reg] HKLM,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce,,,"FIXCL32.EXE" NOTE: We recommend using the example MSBATCH.INF included in the archive. It's been modified specifically for the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter. 2. Add/Merge the lines below to the push install version of NETJ3171.INF [PCIhptx.ndi] CopyFiles=fixcl32.install [fixcl32.install] fixcl32.exe [DestinationDirs] fixcl32.install=10 NOTE: The sample NETJ3171.INF in this archive has incorporated these changes. 3. Integrate the above NETJ3171.INF to your Windows 95 source files on the server. Replace the NETJ3171.INF file on the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Configuration and Driver disk with the NETJ3171.INF file included in this archive (you may want to rename the original NETJ3171.INF to save it) Run INFINST.EXE. When asked for an INF file, insert the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Configuration and Driver disk and point to the NETJ3171.INF. For more information on the INFINST.EXE utility, see Chapter 5 of the Windows 95 Resource Kit 4. Copy the FIXCL32.EXE file to your server Windows 95 installation directory. (Ex. Z:\PUBLIC\WIN95 and Z:\PUBLIC\WIN95\SYSTEM) 5. Update LAYOUT.INF to tell Windows 95 Setup the location of FIXCL32.EXE to automate this. The line in LAYOUT.INF for FIXCL32.EXE should look like this: FIXCL32.EXE=1,,11 Update all 3 LAYOUT.INF locations: (ex. Z:\PUBLIC\WIN95, Z:\PUBLIC\WIN95\SYSTEM, Z:\PUBLIC\WIN95\SUWIN) NOTE: Currently, the Windows 95 Push installation with Novell Client 32 will only work using the NDIS driver. ============================================================================= Additional Information If you have devices on your system that Windows 95 is being installed on, such as a sound card or CD ROM, it may be necessary to ensure that Windows 95 scans for these devices and pushes them before the first reboot. This can be done by using a SETUP.EXE command with the /p c option for class detection or /p c- to disable safe class detection and do the most complete examination. For more information about setup switches see the Microsoft document Q-128400, Windows 95 Setup Switches. Example: SETUP /p c This switch enables class detection. Class detection is a mechanism for finding hints for a certain class of devices. For example, adapter class detection looks for hints in the config.sys and system.ini files for CD-ROM drivers. If it does not find any, Setup displays a CD-ROM check box asking if you have a CD-ROM drive. The default during Setup is enabled. The default when you use the Add New Hardware tool and docking/undocking detection is disabled. Example: setup /p c- Setup /p c- disables safe class detection. For example, this switch tells Setup to always search on all network adapter cards, sound cards, and CD-ROM drives.Download 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.

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.
