SYMPTOMS
When you run Microsoft Plus! Setup with a command-line switch, you may receive the following error message:

Setup Error 530

This is an invalid command line option: /x

When you click OK, you receive the following message:

  Setup - Usage setup [/A] [/G filename] [/Q[0|1|T]] [/R] [/U[A]] [/Y]

/A Administrator mode /G filename Generate logfile of installation activity /Q[0|1|T] Quiet install mode (0 shows exit, 1 hides exit, T hides            all display) /R Reinstall the application /U[A] Uninstall the application but leave shared components (/UA        to remove all) /Y Install without copying files

CAUSE
The Setup Usage dialog box is incorrect. The /A and /Q switches are not supported.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Plus! version 1.0 for Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION
The following switches are supported by Microsoft Plus! Setup:

  /G filename - Specify filename, such as Pluslog.txt, to create a                 text log of the Setup process.

/U[A]      - Starts Setup in maintenance mode. Removes Microsoft Plus! components without prompting.

NOTE: This does not remove DriveSpace 3 if there is an                existing compressed DriveSpace 3 volume.

/R         - Starts Setup in maintenance mode. Reinstalls components without prompting.

/Y         - Runs Setup without copying the Microsoft Plus! files to                the hard disk. However, depending on the components that are selected, the original Windows 95 disks or CD-ROM may be required so that Windows 95 files can be copied. In                addition, you may receive missing file error messages when Setup calls the Internet Explorer Setup Wizard or                the Desktop Themes tool. Keywords : win95
