Compaq 470007-802 Distributing Windows 98 on Deskpro PCs using Microsoft Tools - Page 5

WHITE PAPER (cont.) ... 4. Use InfInst.exe from the Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit (also found on the Windows 98 CD in the \tools\reskit\infinst directory) to integrate Compaq and Microsoft INFs into the Windows 98 installation share. This is done by executing INFINST.EXE and providing the paths to both the INF to add to Windows 98 Setup and to Windows 98 SETUP.EXE. InfInst integrates the support information into the installation share. See the InfInst help file (located in the same directory as the InfInst utility) for more information. Refer to the following sections for more details on integrating each driver type and for errata for specific driver sets. 5. Add any other software to be installed to the installation share. Additional software can be installed via the MSBATCH.INF file. Please see the Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit for more information on adding additional software to be installed using this process. The installation share is now ready. To perform installation, complete the following steps: NOTE: These steps may be automated using batch files. 1. Boot the target system from a bootable MS-DOS diskette containing network drivers configured for the NIC in the system. 2. Log on to the network (as required) and map a drive to the network share where the Windows 98 installation files reside. 3. Partition and format the hard drive (as necessary). If you want to use the FAT32 file system, you should enable large hard drive support in FDISK and create the desired partitioning size. 4. Execute the Windows 98 SETUP.EXE program and specify the MSBATCH.INF file as a command line parameter (i.e. SETUP.EXE /is MSBATCH.INF). INTEGRATING VIDEO DRIVERS General Process 1. Download each required SoftPAQ to its own directory and execute the SoftPAQ. For video driver SoftPAQs, specify -f as a command line option to the SoftPAQ. This will extract the SoftPAQ out into a flat (single) directory. 2. Use InfInst to integrate video drivers into the installation share. In InfInst, specify the location of the INF file that came with the driver set and the location of the Windows 98 SETUP.EXE file. Press the "Add Inf" button. 3. The video driver is now integrated into the Windows 98 installation files. 4. Each video driver set may provide a different version of the VgartD.VXD file. Only the latest version of this file should be used. Evaluate the version of this VXD in each driver set before adding the driver to the operating system installation share with InfInst. Choose not to replace the current VgartD.VXD file with an older version if prompted. Specific Errata Diamond NVidia Viper 330 There are two INF files in the Diamond NVidia driver set: DMDISP.INF and SETUP.INF. These two files are identical. Select DMDISP.INF to add to Windows 98 Setup. NA144A/0499 5
