There are two operation modes, Windows UI and command line, to execute installation and remove. The most popular is the Windows UI mode that provides convenient user interface and systematic operation. The command line mode, also called as silent mode, need user append more parameters behind SETUP.EXE as answer to make the setup program silence without pop any dialogs.
There are
possible two types setup package you may have. One is compressed as a zip file
includes visible setup and driver files. Another one is made as a self-extracted-execution
file. In the following, we will show you the steps to complete driver
installation and remove with both package types.
If the downloaded file is ZIP-compressed format, please extract it to proper location in your hard disk first. Then launch the SETUP.EXE by double-clicking. Otherwise, you could double-click the self-extracted-execution file and wait for few seconds for the self-extraction. The extracted file will be deleted automatically after setup has been terminated.
First time execution
If it is the first time to execute the setup package, you will only have the choice of installation.
Maintenance
After the first time execution, you could have choice to make “Update” and “Remove”. You will see two options, “Update” and “Remove” in the first shown dialog. If you are going to update the driver, please active the “Update” radio button and press next button to enter next steps. Else, if you are going to remove the installed driver in your system, please active the “Remove” radio button and press next button to enter next steps.
The silent mode are usually applied to system maintainer for servicing hundreds systems that won’t have interactive user interface. They would execute the setup through command line in console or batch file execution without closing any popped dialog popped or pressing next buttons. In addition, the command line parameters of these two types of downloaded file format get few differences.
ZIP-Compressed Package
In this type package, you could see a setup.exe in those extracted files. User could append parameters behind setup.exe as command line in console.
The
present command line parameters are: -s and /z"reboot;remove;kompnt:xx,yy,zz"
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
-s |
It is a required command line parameter to enable
silent mode operation. If this parameter is missed, the setup |
|
-z”Param1;…;ParamN” |
It passes predefined parameters to SETUP.EXE.
Each parameter, Param1;…;ParamN,
should be separated with semicolons. The predefined sub-parameters are: reboot It causes Setup.exe automatically to reboot after the silent mode operation completed. remove It is a switch to cause Setup.exe to remove components. If this parameter is
absent, then SETUP.EXE will install components. kompnt:xx,yy,zz It is an optional parameter to assign specific
component in this package to be install/remove. The xx,yy,zz
should be replaced with component name in which is defined as same as the
component folder name of this package. |
Examples:
|
Command line |
Execution
|
|
setup.exe -s |
Silent install all included components but not
reboot the computer. |
|
setup.exe -s /z"reboot" |
Silent install all component and reboot the
computer. |
|
setup.exe -s /z"reboot;remove" |
Silent uninstall all include component and reboot
the computer. |
|
setup.exe -s
/z"remove" |
Silent uninstall all components but not reboot
the computer. |
|
setup.exe -s /z"kompnt:VIAMACH,VIAAGP" |
Silent install VIAMACH and VIAUDIO components
only |
|
setup.exe -s /z"remove;kompnt:VIAMACH,VIAAGP" |
Silent uninstall VIAMACH and VIAUDIO components
only |
Self-Extracted-Execution Package
This type is a single self-extracted-execution file. All necessary files are all integrated together so that user does not need to extract it to specific folder for operation. There is extra parameter to make the self-extracted shell to be in silent mode.
The present command line parameters are -s -a, -s and /z"reboot;remove;kompnt:xx,yy,zz"
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
-s -a |
It is a required command line parameter to make
the self-extracted shell program to be in silent mode. And it should be the first
parameter in command line. |
|
-s |
It is a required command line parameter to enable
silent mode operation. If this parameter is missed, the setup |
|
-z”Param1;…;ParamN” |
It passes predefined parameters to SETUP.EXE.
Each parameter, Param1;…;ParamN,
should be separated with semicolons. The predefined sub-parameters are: reboot It causes Setup.exe automatically to reboot
after the silent mode operation completed. remove It is a switch to cause Setup.exe to remove components. If this parameter is absent,
then SETUP.EXE will install components. kompnt:xx,yy,zz It is an optional parameter to assign specific
component in this package to be install/remove. The xx,yy,zz
should be replaced with component name in which is defined as same as the
component folder name of this package. |
Examples:
We assume that you download a self-extracted-execution file named as VIAAGP.exe.
