You can??™t simply stick the CD or DVD into the drive
and expect it to do anything, because it won??™t. It stays there until you tell it to do something. Fortunately,
Microsoft has helped vendors standardize their setups over the years. You can normally
set the drive to the drive with the setup program on it by typing something like
D:
and pressing
Enter, and then typing
Setup
and pressing Enter. The only problem is that this method doesn??™t
always work.
When the setup program starts but doesn??™t complete, it may mean that the setup program relies
on graphical features not found in Server Core. You don??™t have to worry too much in many cases.
The vendor may very well provide a command line interface where you can configure the application
setup using command line switches. The command line switches may actually appear as
part of a README or other file provided on the installation media. Use these steps to learn more
about the potential setup options provided on the media:
1.
Select the drive that contains the installation media by typing
C:
or
D:
or whatever drive the
media is using and pressing Enter.
2.
If necessary, change directories to the installation media directory by typing
CD
SetupDirectory
(where SetupDirectory is the setup directory) and pressing Enter.
