SUMMARY
It may be desirable in some cases to bypass the reboot prompt for Internet
Explorer 4.0 setup.
To do this, command line switches must be passed to the Ie4setup.exe
program that is run to start the installation.
There are a number of command line switches that can be used to prevent
the reboot. Whenever command line switches are passed like this, some of
the settings in the IEAK wizard may be overridden and need to be passed
directly on the command line.
The following steps will prevent the reboot only:
- Click Start and point to Run.
- Type \\<computername>\<sharename>\Ie4setup.exe /C:"IE4WZD /S:""#e""/R:N"
The above is one command it has been wrapped for readability.
Where <computername> is the name of the computer and <sharename>
is the name of the share which should be made on the Packages
folder in your build.
The Packages folder is located at the following path:
<drive>:\<path>\Win95_nt\cd\win95\en\packages
Where <drive> is your drive letter and <path> is the path to
your build.
If a silent mode install is desired, the following should be used:
- Click Start and point to Run.
- Type \\<computername>\<sharename>\Ie4setup.exe /Q:A /C:"IE4WZD/S:""#e"" /Q /R:N"
Where <computername> is the name of the computer and <sharename>
is the name of the share which should be made on the packages
folder in your build.
The above is one command; it may have been wrapped for readability.
The Packages folder is located at the following path:
<drive>:\<path>\Win95_nt\cd\win95\en\packages

used:
