How AutoStart Uses Wceload
CAB files are installed by AutoStart using the Wceload.exe application.
Table 6 on page 8 shows available command line options:
Table 6. AutoStart command line options
Please refer to the Microsoft documentation on your device for further details
on
Wceload.exe.
Sample:
\Windows\Wceload.exe /delete 1 /noui /silent
“\Windows\AutoStart\<cab file>”
Interactive CAB Install
If the CAB installer requires user interaction that must be performed during
the AutoStart CAB installation process, you can specify a special file name to
disable the silent mode installation. If this mode is specified, the CAB file will
be installed with
Wceload without any command line arguments specified.
An example of what AutoStart would execute is:
\Windows\Wceload.exe <cab file>
To force this mode of installation via AutoStart, rename the CAB file to
include a ‘
_’ character before the “.cab” extension of the file.
Example:
“File.cab” should be renamed “File_.cab” to force AutoStart to not
install the CAB in silent mode. This specially-named CAB file should be
placed in the AutoStart folder with other CAB files intended for installation
on the next reboot.
If you intend to create highly interactive installers, you should either install the
CABs manually or review the section on “Interactive CAB Install” in this chapter.
Option Description
/noui
Specifies that you will not be prompted for any input during the installation. If
the CAB file is signed, any responses will automatically be answered ‘Yes.’ If
the CAB is unsigned, then any responses will be answered ‘No.’
/silent Suppresses dialog boxes during the installation.
