# Installation and Remove

There are two operation modes, Windows UI and command line, to execute installation and remove. The most popular is the Windows UI mode that provides convenient user interface and systematic operation. The command line mode, also called as silent mode, need user append more parameters behind SETUP.EXE as answer to make the setup program silence without pop any dialogs.

There are possible two types setup package you may have. One is compressed as a zip file includes visible setup and driver files. Another one is made as a self-extracted-execution file. In the following, we will show you the steps to complete driver installation and remove with both package types.

## Windows UI mode

If the downloaded file is ZIP-compressed format, please extract it to proper location in your hard disk first. Then launch the SETUP.EXE by double-clicking. Otherwise, you could double-click the self-extracted-execution file and wait for few seconds for the self-extraction. The extracted file will be deleted automatically after setup has been terminated.

### First time execution

If it is the first time to execute the setup package, you will only have the choice of installation.

### Maintenance

After the first time execution, you could have choice to make Update and Remove. You will see two options, Update and Remove in the first shown dialog. If you are going to update the driver, please active the Update radio button and press next button to enter next steps. Else, if you are going to remove the installed driver in your system, please active the Remove radio button and press next button to enter next steps.

### Control Panel\Add Remove Programs

There is another path to remove the installed driver is to go through “Add Remove Programs” service of control panel. An uninstall item is added after install , VIA Platform Device Manager, to handle all the installed VIA driver components.

## Silent mode

The silent mode are usually applied to system maintainer for servicing hundreds systems that wont have interactive user interface. They would execute the setup through command line in console or batch file execution without closing any popped dialog popped or pressing next buttons. In addition, the command line parameters of these two types of downloaded file format get few differences.

### ZIP-Compressed Package

In this type package, you could see a setup.exe in those extracted files. User could append parameters behind setup.exe as command line in console.

The present command line parameters are: -s and /z"reboot;remove:xx,yy,zz"

Parameter | Description
-s | It is a required command line parameter to enable silent mode operation. If this parameter is missed, the setup

-zParam1;K;ParamN

It passes predefined parameters to SETUP.EXE. Each parameter, Param1;K;ParamN, should be separated with semicolons.

The predefined sub-parameters are:

reboot

It causes Setup.exe automatically to reboot after the silent mode operation completed.

remove

It is a switch to cause Setup.exe to remove components. If this parameter is absent, then SETUP.EXE will install components.

kompnt:xx,yy,zz

It is an optional parameter to assign specific component in this package to be install/remove.

The xx,yy,zz should be replaced with component name in which is defined as same as the component folder name of this package.

Examples:

Command line

##### Execution

setup.exe -s | Silent install all included components but not reboot the computer.
setup.exe -s /z"reboot" | Silent install all component and reboot the computer.
setup.exe -s /z"reboot;remove" | Silent uninstall all include component and reboot the computer.
setup.exe -s /z"remove" | Silent uninstall all components but not reboot the computer.
