 Setup Command Line Parameters
 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 The Setup program accepts optional command line parameters. These can be useful
 to system administrators, and to other programs calling the Setup program. 

 /SP- 
 Disables the This will install... Do you wish to continue? prompt at the
 beginning of Setup. Of course, this will have no effect if the
 DisableStartupPrompt [Setup] section directive was set to yes. 

 /SILENT, /VERYSILENT 
 Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard
 and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress
 window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not
 displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during
 installation are displayed and the startup prompt is (if you haven't disabled
 it with DisableStartupPrompt or the '/SP-' command line option explained above) 
 If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command isn't used (see below)
 and Setup is silent, it will display a Reboot now? message box. If it's very
 silent it will reboot without asking. 

 /LOG 
 Causes Setup to create a log file in the user's TEMP directory detailing file
 installation actions taken during the installation process. This can be a
 helpful debugging aid. For example, if you suspect a file isn't being replaced
 when you believe it should be (or vice versa), the log file will tell you if
 the file was really skipped, and why.
 The log file is created with a unique name based on the current date.
 (It will not overwrite or append to existing files.) Currently, it is not
 possible to customize the filename.
 The information contained in the log file is technical in nature and therefore
 not intended to be understandable by end users. Nor is it designed to be
 machine-parseable; the format of the file is subject to change without notice. 

 /NOCANCEL 
 Prevents the user from cancelling during the installation process, by disabling
 the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful along with
 '/SILENT' or '/VERYSILENT'. 

 /NORESTART
 Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary. 

 /RESTARTEXITCODE=exit code 
 Specifies the custom exit code that Setup is to return when a restart is
 needed. Useful along with '/NORESTART'. Also see Setup Exit Codes. 

 /LOADINF="filename" 
 Instructs Setup to load the settings from the specified file after having
 checked the command line. This file can be prepared using the '/SAVEINF='
 command as explained below. 
 Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces. 

 /SAVEINF="filename" 
 Instructs Setup to save installation settings to the specified file. 
 Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces. 

 /LANG=language 
 Specifies the language to use. language specifies the internal name of the
 language as specified in a [Languages] section entry. 
 When a valid /LANG parameter is used, the Select Language dialog will be
 suppressed. 

 /DIR="x:\dirname" 
 Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination
 Location wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified. 

 /GROUP="folder name" 
 Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder
 wizard page. If the [Setup] section directive DisableProgramGroupPage was
 set to yes, this command line parameter is ignored. 

 /NOICONS 
 Instructs Setup to initially check the "Don't create any icons" check box on
 the "Select Start Menu Folder" wizard page. 

 /COMPONENTS="comma separated list of component names" 
 Overrides the default components settings. Using this command line parameter
 causes Setup to automatically select a custom type. 

 /PASSWORD=password 
 Specifies the password to use. If the [Setup] section directive Password was
 not set, this command line parameter is ignored. 
 When an invalid password is specified, this command line parameter is also
 ignored.

 Instruction line parameter of the deinstallation program
 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 The uninstaller program (unins???.exe) accepts optional command line
 parameters. These can be useful to system administrators, and to other programs
 calling the uninstaller program. 

 /SILENT
 Consequence: Deactivation of dialog and message windows. Files used jointly
 which are no more in use are deleted automatically without query. All critical
 error messages are distributed, however.
