Running Setup with an Answer File for Unattended Installation

After you have created an XML answer file for unattended installation, you can use it to set up Microsoft Windows Embedded for Point of Service by typing the following at the command prompt:

  
    Setup.exe /unattended:
    pathname\answer_file

where pathname is a local or a UNC path to the file, and answer_file is the filename of the answer file you want to use.

Example:

  Setup.exe /unattended:\\Chainstores\Store44\unattend.xml

Notes:

  • You can also copy the answer file to the Setup folder of the installation CD and name it unattended.xml to have WEPOS Setup detect the file and automatically use it for an unattended installation.
  • To ensure the security of your WEPOS system, it is recommended that you change all passwords after an unattended setup.
