Installing Intermediate driver on NT Machine.

NTDEV
1

Hi,
I am trying to install an intermediate network driver
on a NT machine. I need to do the installation from a
program, rather than using network properties applet.
Can anybody help me out…!! Please.
Thanx.
Shraman.

This is an exerpt from Microsoft KB Q162771. I think the KB article is no longer available on Microsoft’s web site, so you might have to look on an older version of the MSDN library to find the original. You might also be interested in Microsoft KB Q231315 - it explains how to force a bindings review once the installation is complete.

Installing Network Components without Control Panel using INF files (article from MS)

setup.exe /f /i%SystemRoot%\system32\ncpashel.inf
/T NTN_InstallMode = Install
/T NTN_Origination = install
/T NTN_Infname = OEMSETUP.INF
/T NTN_SRCPATH = D:\I386
/T NTN_Infoption = OPTION

NOTE: The command line that begins with “Setup.exe” must be on one line without a carriage return (CR) or line feed (LF).

/f = Turn off blue backgroup
/T NTN_InstallMode = Install, Remove, Update, Configure or Bind
/T Origination = Install (=NCPA when setup issued by NCPA.CPL)
/T NTN_Infname = name of the INF file
/T NTN_SRCPATH = Path of the distribution files
/T NTN_InfOption = Name of the Option. Open INF gil and seach for section [Options]

Hi I have tried to install my driver using the command
given in KB Q162771. But I could not get it work. Can
anyone suggest what may have gone wrong? My
observations are:

  1. The InfOption value is null.
  2. The name of the driver should come as a service
    under bindings tab of network property, but that does
    not come.
  3. TCP/IP should be removed from the protocols, but
    instead disabled.
    Thanks,
    Shraman

Shraman -

The string “OPTION” passed to setup should be the name of an option defined in the “[Options]” section of the .INF file. For example, in the Win NT DDK “Packet” sample (%DDKROOT%\SRC\NETWORK\PACKET), the “[Options]” section has one option: “PACKET”. This would be the string passed to setup.exe: “/T NTN_Infoption = PACKET”.
