Some vendors don??™t provide an
AutoRun.INF
file. In this case, you can type
Dir *.EXE
and press
Enter. The setup disk usually contains only a few executable files and the filenames normally tell
you what tasks the executable performs. If this fails, then you can type
Dir /AD
and press Enter.
This command displays a listing of the subdirectories on the disk. One of the subdirectories normally
has a name that indicates that it has something to do with installation or setup. You can type
CD
DirectoryName
and press Enter to look though the files found in the installation directory??”one
of them generally provides the setup functionality you require.
After you get a product installed, you can use WMIC to manage it. For example, you can choose
to change the application configuration if necessary by typing
WMIC Product Where Name=
"
ProductName
" Call Configure
and pressing Enter. Likewise, you can remove a product that
you no longer need by typing
WMIC Product Where Name="
ProductName
" Call Uninstall
and
pressing Enter. Only the methods that the setup program supports will work. You can also use the
WMIC Install method when you want to install an advertised product??”one that was previously
advertised using the Advertise method.
