Automated Installs of Windows98

Automated Installs of Windows98
with INF Files

Creating INF Files Using BATCH
Setup Switches
Additional Installation Configuration
Copying Additional Files
Sample MSBATCH.INF file

One of the new capabilities of Windows9x is its ability to install many of it's options and configurations automatically.

This is accomplished through the use of INF files. These can be created beforehand and used during an installation.

If you are installing many computers with basically the same configuration, it is much easier to use these pre-defined INF files.

All the Windows95 applications, network settings, printers etc. can be defined ahead of time and installed with little user intervention.
