Fred,
From the article:
/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)
/QN[1|T] Quiet install mode with reboot suppressed
/R Reinstall the application
/U[A] Uninstall the application but leave shared components
(/UA to remove all)
/X filename Set Network Log Location for tracking install instances
/Y Install without copying files
A full list of the options can be generated by starting the Setup.exe from the Windows 95 command line with the "/" switch (the forward slash character) as in the following:
C:\VFPApp\SETUP.EXE /
