2.3.6 Windows NT Setup Manager
Windows NT Setup Manager (SETUPMGR.EXE) is a tool to create answer files for
unattended or predefined installation of Windows NT.
The answer file contains answer values for the input to be provided during the
setup process. This makes it possible to install a system unattended or with
little user interaction. There can be either an individual answer file for each
computer you want to install or one file for multiple computers if they′re installed
the same way.
Start WINNT or WINNT32 with this answer file specified in the following way:
WINNT /u:ANSWER FILE (for 16-bit setup version)
or
WINNT32 /u:ANSWER FILE (for 32-bit setup version)
To create a setup answer file with the Setup Manager do the following:
1. Start the SETUPMGR.EXE program. The Windows NT Setup Manager dialog
appears.
2. If you want to edit an existing unattended answer file, click on the Open
button and open the desired file.
3. Specify the settings according to the system to be installed.
Note: The configuration data you have to provide depends on the role of the
new Windows NT installation. Also note that you have to define whether it is
going to be a new installation or an update from either Windows 3.x or an
older Windows NT version.
4. Specify the file name you want to save the script file as.
5. Choose OK to close Setup Manager.
