Intel INF drivers

[DaSilva]

Can someone please tell me with the command line switch is to install the intel .inf drivers anyway?
Eventough the installer says you don't need a update I want to try them anyway and I've read a while back that there was a command line switch for letting the installer install anyway!
Something like /..?

Thanks very much for any help!

Hi, here's the list from the last version. I don't see the option you look for. I suggest you unzip your copy first and read the "readme.txt". you might find something there.
Good luck.


************************************************************
* 4. LIST OF AVAILABLE COMMAND LINE FLAG OPTIONS
************************************************************
The Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility supports
several command line flags for various installation options.
All command line flags and parameters must be separated by a
space, except for the language code after the '-L' flag.

Due to the different distribution formats available for the
Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility, the command
line flag syntax may vary:

1. Self-Extracting .EXE Distribution:
When installing this software using the .EXE
distribution, an extra '-A' must be appended to the
INFINST_xxx.EXE program call (i.e. INFINST_ENU.EXE -A)
in order to successfully pass command line parameters.
The extra '-A' flag for the self-extracting .EXE
package is DIFFERENT from the '-A' command line flag
option described below.

Example: To extract INF files using the '-A' flag
described below, the installation program
should be invoked as follows:

INFINST_ENU.EXE -A -A (optional -P)

2. Compressed .ZIP Distribution:
When installing this software using the .ZIP
distribution, there is no need to append any extra
flags to the SETUP.EXE program call in order to pass
command line flags.

Example: To extract INF files using the '-A' flag
described below, the installation program
should be invoked as follows:

SETUP.EXE -A (optional -P)

Below is a list of all the available command line flags that
may be used with the program call. Note that the '-L' and
the '-S' flags MUST be specified at the end of the command
line flag list.

Flag Description
---- -----------
-? Help flag. Displays the list of available
command line flags. This parameter works in
the Interactive mode only.

-A Extracts the INF files and README.TXT to
either "C:\Program Files\Intel\InfInst" or
the <Installation Path> directory specified
using the '-P' flag. The software will
NOT install these INF files to the system.
This flag can be combined only with the '-P'
flag option. All other options will be
ignored if the '-A' flag is specified.
This parameter works in either Silent mode
or Interactive mode.

-B Automatically reboots the system after
installation. This flag is ignored if '-A'
flag is specified. This parameter works in
either Silent mode or Interactive mode.

-L<LangCode> Forces the InstallShield user interface to
display the specified language during setup.
Note that there should be NO spaces between
'-L' and the 4-digit language code (see
below). This flag and the '-S' flag must be
placed at the end of the command line flag
list. This parameter works in Interactive
mode only.

-OVER AUD Overrides the default behavior of the
installer with respect to update of the
Audio controller device.

-P <Installation Path>
Specifies the HDD location to which the INF
program files are copied. If this flag is
not specified at the command line, the
<Installation Path> directory is by default
assumed to be:

C:\Program Files\Intel\INFInst

If this flag is used without the '-A'
option, only README.TXT will be copied to
<Installation Path>. The directory name can
include spaces. In this case, however, a
pair of double quotes (") must enclose the
directory name. This parameter works in
either Silent mode or Interactive mode.

-S Runs the Installer in silent mode. No user
interface is displayed. This flag and the
'-L' flag must be placed at the end of the
command line flag list.

Below are the language codes used with the '-L' flag:

Language <LangCode>

Chinese (PRC) 0804
Chinese (Taiwan) 0404
Danish 0006
Dutch 0013
English (US) 0009
