Alacritech Accelerator Users Guide: Microsoft Windows Edition 2-8
2.4 Command Line Driver Installation
It is assumed in this document that the user is familiar with the Microsoft command line
installation tool, msiexec.exe. If this is not the case, it is recommended that at a bare
minimum the user first run 'msiexec /?' to familiarize themselves with the msiexec syn-
tax.
In order to install via the command line, you need to know the path to the '.msi' file that
is appropriate for your OS. Use the following table to determine this.
Operating System
MSI PATH*
32 bit Server 2008 and Vista
wlh\x86\setupx86.msi
64 bit Server 2008 and Vista
wlh\x64\setupx64.msi
32 bit Server 2003
snp\x86\setupx86.msi
64 bit Server 2003 and XP
snp\x64\setupx64.msi
*Path relative to the root of the driver distribution CD or zip file.
In order to have full control over which driver components are installed you will need to
know which MSI properties are supported. The Release 10 MSI file supports the fol-
lowing properties:
Property
Function
SLIC:
Installs the 1 gigabit miniport driver: slic.sys, slicx86.sys,or
slicx64.sys.
SXG:
Installs the 10 gigabit miniport driver sxg.sys, sxgx86.sys,or
sxgx64.sys.
SLICTEAM:
Installs the intermediate driver for teaming and VLANs: slicteam.sys.
ALL:
same as SLIC,SXG,SLICTEAM
SLIC and SXG are the default. If you want to install teaming and VLAN support, you
need to add ADDDEFAULT=SLICTEAM or ADDDEFAULT=ALL to the msiexec com-
mandline.
EXAMPLE: Installing everything on Server 2008 x64
C:\Temp> msiexec /i wlh\x64\setupx64.msi ADDDEFAULT=ALL /quiet
