Follow these instructions to create a silent installation package.
Before you start, you must choose a location for the package. If you are burning a DVD, it is convenient to use a staging directory. If you are placing the package on a file server, you can use a staging directory or build the package directly on the file server.
The following example uses c:\tdpdpkg as a staging directory. Issue the following commands to create the package.
Command | Description |
---|---|
mkdir c:\tdpdpkg | Create a staging directory for the silent-install package |
cd /d c:\tdpdpkg | Go to the staging directory |
xcopy g:\*.* . /s | Copy the DVD distribution files to the staging directory |
copy c:\setup.bat | Replace the existing setup.bat with the one created in the previous step |
When you create the installation package, test the silent installation. When you complete the test, the package can be placed on a DVD or it can be made available from a shared directory.
