244.0. "Unattended installation of NT + PW32" by NBODIC::FUCHS (Markus Fuchs) Mon Apr 21 1997 17:21

    Hi
    
    Did anybody an "unattended installation" of Windows-NT and additional
    Pathworks32 ?
    
    Is this supported ? 
    
    Is there a unsupported, restricted to DECnet method ?
    
    Why does not work the SYSDIFF correctly with PW32 ?
    
    
    If anybody has any experiences with this - please help. It is very
    urgent because a lot of customers ask these questions.
    
    
    Many thanks
    
    	Markus

Sorry, we're busy.  My guess is that nobody has tried it.
244.3will it be added ?HANSBC::BACHNERMouse not found. Click OK to continueThu Apr 24 1997 13:209
I know that you're busy - but I'm also interested in unattended installation. In
our customer's case, we only need to install the license requester. Does this
make it easier ?  We're talking about a few hundred PCs in this case.

Second question: as unattended installation apparently isn't a feature of PW32,
are there plans to include this feature in a future release ?

Thanks for your help,
Hans.

It will be a feature in the next release.

As for your question... can it be done today?  I don't know... and I do
not have anyone to put on it.  Do you?

    Yes I tried it. 
    
    At first with SYSDIFF - with no much success. After starting the NT
    machine all Pathworks services were crashed.
    
    Now I will try it to install all services and protocols in the same way
    as other protocol or services. If you have a list which files should be
    in which directories - please send it. If you don't have any - I must
    analyse the OEMxxx.INF files and a running system.
    
    Anyway, I must get a solution or two people from Digital must install
    Pathworks about 400 times manually!
