Note: This will successfully install the CardWare driver; However, CardWare’s install program
will cause the system to freeze if a PC card is in the PCMCIA slot during installation. The
following are instructions on how to install the CardWare driver with a PC card in the PCMCIA
slot during NT unattended setup. This will install the CardWare driver after NT setup is complete
and the system is rebooted. Also, an extra reboot is needed after the CardWare driver has been
installed to activate CardWare.
1. Using a text editor, create a .REG file (e.g., CWARE.REG.) and save this file in the
\\servername\sharename\I386\$oem$ directory. Also copy the file REGEDIT.EXE to the
same directory. A copy of this file can be found in the root directory (i.e. c:\winnt) on any
machine currently running Windows NT. The following is the information that needs to be
entered into the .REG file:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Tips]
"DisplayInitialTipWindow"=dword:00000000
"Show"=hex:01,00,00,00
"Next"=hex:03,00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pcmcia]
"Start"=dword:00000004
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"CWARE"="C:\\CWARE\\DISK1\\SETUP.EXE SILENT"
2. Replace the lines adding to the CMDLINES.TXT in step#4 above with the following lines:
