Installing the Rescue and Recovery program
The Rescue and Recovery installation package was developed with InstallShield 10.5 Premier as a Basic
MSI project. InstallShield Premier 10.5 uses the Windows Installer to install applications, which gives
administrators many capabilities to customize installations, such as setting property values from the
command line. This section describes ways to use and run the Rescue and Recovery installation package.
For a better understanding, read the entire section before you begin to install the package.
Note: When installing the package, refer to the readme file on the Lenovo Web site at:
.The readme file contains
the latest information about program versions, supported systems, system requirements, and other
considerations to help you with the installation process.
Administrative installation
The Windows Installer can perform an administrative installation of an application or a product to a network
for use by a workgroup or for customization. For the Rescue and Recovery installation package, an
administrative installation unpacks the installation source files to a specified location.
You can obtain the installation package from the following Web site:
Attended installation
To perform an administrative installation, run the installation package from the command line using the /a
parameter:
setup.exe /a
An administrative installation presents a wizard that prompts the administrative user to specify the location
for unpacking the setup files. The default extract location is C:\. You can choose a new location that may
include the drive other than C:\, for example other local drive or mapped network drive. You can also
create a new directory during this step.
