The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SUMMARY
=======

When you run the Microsoft Exchange Client Setup program from the network share
point, several command line options are available:

SETUP.EXE [/A] [/G filename] [/Q[0|1|T]] [/R] [/U[A]] [/Y]

/A                   Administrator mode.
/G filename          Generate logfile of installation activity.
/Q[0|1|T]            Quiet install mode (0 shows exit, 1 hides exit,
                    T hides all display).
/U[A]                Uninstall the application but leave shared components
                    (use /UA to remove all).
/Y                   Install without copying files.

NOTE: /G, /U, and /UA are not available in the Microsoft Exchange client for
Windows 3.x Setup program.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Setup /A - This option is used to create a network share point for users running
Microsoft Exchange and possibly Windows from a shared network location.

Setup /Y - This option will rewrite the Microsoft Exchange client registry
entries and recreate the icons in Program Manager.

Setup /GC:\setup.log - This will create C:\Setup.log, which will list all files
installed and registry settings made during setup.


If Default.prf doesn't already exist in the directory pointed to by the WINDIR
environment variable, the Microsoft Exchange Setup program for Windows 3.x
clients will not generate a profile.

Additional query words: setup switches switch options command line
