This section describes how to install Intel PROSet for Windows Device Manager from the command line.
NOTE: Intel PROSet can be installed with DxSetup.exe or msiexec.exe. Intel recommends using DxSetup.exe. DxSetup.exe detects the system's language, searches for the appropriate transform file, and applies it to MSI package. The transform file translates the installation instructions to the language associated with your operating system. |
DxSetup.exe is a setup utility used for installing Intel PROSet. It detects the system language, searches for the appropriate transform file in the same folder, and then launches PROSETDX.msi in the language specific to the operating system. The transform file translates the installation instructions to the language associated with your operating system.
DxSetup.exe also takes the install options from the command line and applies them to the PROSETDX.msi command line installation.
Switch | Description | ||||||||
/q[r|n] | silent install options.

Property | Definition |
BD |
"0", deselect / do not execute SetupBD.
"1", execute SetupBD to install the drivers (default setting). NOTE: BD should only be set to 0 if the Base Drivers have already been installed prior to running DxSetup.exe |
ANS |
"0", deselect / hide ANS.
"1", select ANS (default setting). |
DMIX | "0", deselect /
hide Intel PROSet feature.
"1", select Intel PROSet feature (default setting). |

You can modify the paths for different operating systems and CD layouts and apply the command line examples.
The following launches a typical install silently:
DxSetup.exe /qn /liew install.log
NOTE: BD, ANS and DMIX are selected by default. |
How to install components but deselect ANS. Set the ANS=0 in the command line:
DxSetup.exe /qn ANS=0 /liew install.log

This section describes how to install Intel PROSet using PROSETDX.msi and msiexec.exe from the command line.
C:\WINNT\System32\msiexec.exe /i PROSETDX.msi /qn /liew install.log

Transforms | A property used to apply transforms (a .mst file) to an
MSI package. The following example applies a Chinese language transform
to MSI package, so the installer displays Chinese strings during
installation:TRANSFORMS=2052.mst |
The following launches a typical installation of PROSETDX.msi.
<Full path to msiexec.exe> /i <Full path to PROSETDX.msi> /qn /liew install.log
The following uninstalls all the Intel PROSet components. It can be used when the path to PROSETDX.msi is available.
<path to msiexec.exe> /x <path to PROSETDX.msi> /qn /liew uninstall.log
The following uninstalls all the Intel PROSet components. It can be used when the path to PROSETDX.msi is not available but the ProductCode of MSI package is known.
<path to msiexec.exe> /x <ProductCode of PROSETDX.msi> /qn /liew uninstall.log
PROSETDX.msi provides public properties that can be used to change Intel PROSet install selections from the command line.
By setting the properties in the command line, you can disable and hide some features in PROSETDX.msi, or force some feature to be selected/displayed. This provides the flexibility to install different components/features in Intel PROSet.
Following is the list of public properties provided by PROSETDX.msi:
Property | Definition |
BD |
"0", deselect / do not execute SetupBD.
"1", execute SetupBD to install the drivers. NOTE: In this release, it is set to "1" by default. It is always installed by default in this release. BD should only be set to 0 if the Base Drivers have already been installed prior to running PROSETDX.msi |
ANS |
"0", deselect / hide ANS.
"1", select ANS. NOTE: In this release, it is set to "1" by default. It is always installed by default in this release. |
DMIX |
"0", deselect / hide Intel PROSet feature.
"1", select Intel PROSet feature. NOTE: In this release, it is set to "1" by default. It is always installed by default in this release. |
SNMP |
"0", deselect / do not install the SNMP Agent. "1", select / install the SNMP Agent. NOTE: In this release, it is set to "0" by default. It is not installed by default in this release. |

Assume that C:\WINNT\System32 is in the system32 folder and PROSETDX.msi is under the D:\Apps\PROSETDX\Win32 folder. You can modify the paths for different operating systems and CD layouts and apply the command line examples.
1. How to install Intel PROSet silently on Windows XP:
C:\WINNT\System32\msiexec.exe /i D:\Apps\PROSETDX\Win32\PROSETDX.msi /qn /liew install.log
2. How to install Intel PROSet silently on Windows Server 2003 for Itanium®-based systems:
C:\WINNT\System32\msiexec.exe /i D:\Apps\PROSETDX\Win64\PROSETDX.msi /qn /liew install.log
3. How to install components but deselect ANS:
Set the ANS=0 in the command line, for example:
C:\WINNT\System32\msiexec.exe /i D:\Apps\PROSETDX\Win32\PROSETDX.msi /qn ANS=0 /liew install.log
4. How to apply a transform file to MSI using msiexec.exe:
Set the TRANSFORMS=filename.mst in the command line. For example:
C:\WINNT\System32\msiexec.exe /i D:\Apps\PROSETDX\Win32\PROSETDX.msi /qn TRANSFORMS=2052.mst /liew install.log
NOTE: Intel recommends using DxSetup.exe to install Intel PROSet. DxSetup.exe detects the system's language, searches for the appropriate transform file, and applies it to MSI package. |
NOTE: Do not use the "ANS" option when uninstalling Intel PROSet from a command line. |
First get the path of PROSETDX.msi in the local system or any other image path when you installed Intel PROSet, then use msiexec.exe to uninstall Intel PROSet.
For example, assume System folder is C:\Windows\System, and PROSETDX.msi is in d:\unattend, then the command line will be:
C:\Windows\System\msiexec.exe /x d:\unattend\ PROSETDX.msi /qn /liew uninst.log
If you need to repair an Intel PROSet installation, uninstall the application and then reinstall it. See the uninstall and install examples above for more information.
