Preparing an installation image to install on multiple PCs

Learn about the various ways you can install an image on a PC.

Using command programs
You can automate the installation process by creating a command (.cmd) file to run setup.exe with predefined parameters. In this situation, users do not need to specify options at the command prompt.
Methods to tailor an installation package
You can customize the behavior of the installation by specifying command line parameters.
Windows Installer Policies
You can control the Windows Installer behavior on your client computers by using System Policies for Windows Installer. This lets you configure some settings, like preventing users from installing or uninstalling Windows Installer-based applications, and letting restricted users run installations with elevated privileges.
