SUMMARY
This article describes the switches you can use with the Microsoft FrontPage 98 Setup program.



MORE INFORMATION
FrontPage 98 has three setup switches: /f, /r, and /s. Setup /f  The /f switch allows you to select one of several languages in the multi-language version of FrontPage. This switch can only be used when the Setup program is run from the root folder of the compact disc. The setup /f command uses the following syntax

:\setup /f

where  is the drive that contains the Setup program. After you run this command, the Setup program will prompt you to          select which language version of FrontPage to install.

As an alternative to using the /f switch, you can specify the language on the command line, like this

:\setup

where  is the drive that contains the Setup program and corresponds to one of the following language abbreviations:

DEU (German) ENU (English) ESP (Spanish) FRA (French) ITA (Italian)

setup /r  The /r switch records all choices you made while running the Setup program. It also stores these results in the Setup.iss file. This file is saved in the folder in which you installed Windows. The setup /r command uses the following syntax

:\Frontpg\ \setup.exe /r

where  is the drive that contains the setup program and corresponds to one of the following language abbreviations:

DEU (German) ENU (English) ESP (Spanish) FRA (French) ITA (Italian)

The Setup.iss file will be executed if you run the Setup program with the /s switch. In this case, the Setup program will use this file as a template as it performs a silent installation.

setup /s  The /s switch installs FrontPage "silently," meaning that little or no user intervention is required when the Setup program is          run. During the installation process, the Setup program reads the information in the Setup.iss template that was created when you previously ran Setup with the /r switch. The steps recorded in the Setup.iss file are carried out silently, making it easier for network administrators to install the same components of FrontPage on multiple computers. The Setup.iss file must reside in the folder that contains the FrontPage Setup program.

NOTE: Because you cannot copy the Setup.iss file to the FrontPage compact disc, you will have to copy the folder and all of its contents to a file or network location.

The setup /s command uses the following syntax:

:\Frontpg\ \setup.exe /s

where  is the drive that contains the setup program and corresponds to one of the following language abbreviations:

DEU (German) ENU (English) ESP (Spanish) FRA (French) ITA (Italian)
