SUMMARY
=======

This article describes how to automatically renew bindings using Setup.exe.

It may be necessary to renew bindings when you install or remove network
protocols, services, or adapters.

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

Setup.exe is available in the System32 folder. You can use Setup.exe with the
following command line and a custom .inf file based on the sample below:

"setup /f /i%systemroot%\system32\ncpashel.inf /T NTN_InstallMode = Install /T
NTN_Origination = NCPA /T NTN_Infname = %Path_To_Binding.inf%\Binding.inf"
(without the quotation marks)

The Binding.inf file should contain the following lines:

[InstallOption]
Set DtMode = NCPA
LibraryProcedure StartResult $(!NCPA_HANDLE), CPlSetup $(!STF_HWND), $(DtMode)
exit


Additional query words: ncpa binding setup
