How to install network components from batch.

Instead of using the GUI, you can use Setup.exe:

SETUP.EXE /f /i%systemroot%system32cpashel.inf /T NTN_InstallMode = Install /T NTN_Origination = install /T NTN_Infname = OEMSETUP.INF /T NTN_SRCPATH = D:I386 /T NTN_Infoption = OPTION

NOTE: The above command line MUST be a single line.

The parameter meanings:/f                 = Turns off blue background/T NTN_InstallMode = Install, Remove, Update, Configure or Bind                     This option is identical to the GUI interface/T NTN_Origination = Install (= NCPA when setup issued by NCPA.CPL)/T NTN_Infname     = Name of the INF file name/T NTN_SRCPATH     = Path to the distribution files/T NTN_Infoption   = Name of the option. To figure out which option has                     to be installed, open the INF file and search for the                     section [Options].  You should find the name of the                     option to setup. 

Example: To install TCP/IP Printing from your CD-ROM (D:) drive, the command lines are:

cd %systemroot%setup /f /i%systemroot%system32cpashel.inf /T NTN_InstallMode = Install /T NTN_Origination = install /T NTN_Infname = .OEMNSVTP.INF /T NTN_SRCPATH = D:I386 /T NTN_InfOption = TCPPRINT

NOTE: OEMNSVTP.INF is the INF file for Microsoft TCP/IP Printing. It contains:

[Options]    TCPPRINT

NOTE: You must either do the bindings manually, or run Runncpa.exe from the BackOffice Resource Kit.
