Understanding the /b# Parameter

For the /b# parameter, the number of available options (/b1, /b2, or /b3) and their function depends on which type of dependent client, independent client, or server you are installing and, in the case of independent client, which platform you are installing on. However, in all cases, /b1 is the default¾It is used if the /b# parameter is not specified.

When using unattended setup to install the MSMQ dependent client software, the /b1 parameter maps to the only setup button: Client.

When using unattended setup to install MSMQ independent client software, the /b# parameter maps to the Independent Client and Development Independent Client buttons.

• Use /b1 (Independent Client) to install the MSMQ independent client software without the MSMQ SDK.
• Use /b2 (Development Independent Client) to install the MSMQ independent client software and the MSMQ SDK.
Note You can also specify /b3 when installing the MSMQ independent client software on computers running Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server. The /b3 parameter maps to the Custom button. This parameter has the same effect as specifying /b2.

When using unattended setup to install a PEC, PSC, BSC, or MSMQ routing server, the /b# parameter specifies Server, Installation Server, or Custom.

• Use /b1 (Server) to install the MSMQ server software and administration tools.
• Use /b2 (Installation Server) to install the MSMQ server software, administration tools, the MSMQ SDK, and an MSMQ installation folder for computers running Windows 95 and Windows NT (Intel-compatible computers only).
• Use /b (Custom) to install the server software, administration tools, MSMQ SDK, and an MSMQ installation folder for Windows 95 computers and all supported Windows NT platforms (x86, Alpha, and PowerPC).

When using unattended setup to install the MSMQ RAS connectivity service, the /b1 parameter maps to the only button: RAS Connectivity Service.
