CHAPTER 9
Installation in Unattended Mode
This chapter describes how to install the Diva Server for Windows NT software in
unattended mode. The unattended installation requires no user input; the required
parameters are read from a plain text file.
Note: As the unattended installation requires specific knowledge about the installation
process it should be done by the administrator.
The following files are required for the unattended installation (or removal) of the Diva
Server for Windows NT drivers:
• Options file: This file contains the parameters required for the installation of the drivers
(see Options file
on page 87). For an example of an options file refer to the file
ANSWER.TXT that is included with the Diva Server for Windows NT software. You may
also edit this file according to your requirements and use it as your own options file.
• OEMSETUP.INF: This is the script file which calls the Windows NT 4.0 setup (see Script
file (OEMSETUP.INF) on page 106).
• One or more batch files (or a third-party product in whose installation process the
installation of Diva Server for Windows NT will be integrated). For an example of a
batch file refer to the file UNATTEND.BAT that is included with the Diva Server for
Windows NT software. You may also edit this file according to your requirements.
• UNATTRM.BAT: This is the batch file to remove the Diva Server for Windows NT drivers.
To create an unattended installation either on a special drive or a CD-ROM follow these
steps:
Preparing the files
1. Copy all files from the Diva Server for Windows NT software into the target directory
(of the special drive or the CD-ROM), but do not modify the structure of the three
subdirectories (remove, service and software).
2. Create the options file(s) (see Options file
on page 87).
3. Prepare the script file (see Script file (OEMSETUP.INF)
on page 106).
Running the installation
1. Run the installation (see Running the installation on page 107).
2. Restart the server (see Restarting the server
on page 110).
