3Silent Installation Under Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows 2000

3.1Silent Install Summary

Silent install provides a method of installing system drivers for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG Network Connection without user intervention.

3.2Introduction

The standalone silent driver installation application SetupWLD.exe installs and uninstalls the miniport NDIS driver for Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows 2000. SetupWLD.exe and the corresponding SetupWLD.ini have the appropriate entries to perform the installation. These files are located in the respective driver folder of the Intel installation CD. This program works only for Intel- manufactured wireless network adapters.

3.3Operating Mode

This program can operate in the following modes:

•The wireless MiniPCI adapter is installed into a system with an old driver installed.

•The wireless MiniPCI adapter is installed into a system with the same driver installed.

•The wireless MiniPCI adapter is not installed in the system.

Based on the conditions above, the respective actions are:

•Silent driver upgrade or installation.

•Silent driver reinstallation.

•Unattended installation (prepare the system to accept the MiniPCI adapter and perform an unattended installation when the wireless MiniPCI adapter is plugged in)

When this application is run after canceling the PnP hardware wizard, it installs the drivers. (The PnP dialog displays when the hardware is inserted into a system with an OS, on which no Intel wireless LAN device is currently installed.) After the driver is copied onto the system, SetupWLD.exe triggers a rescan of the PCI bus to identify if a card is present and then installs the driver automatically.
