Command-Line Switches
Deployment Agent for DOS Install (Bwinst.exe) Switches
The Deployment Agent for DOS is installed by bwinst.exe, so if you have problems
installing you might need to edit these settings in the Deployment Agent for DOS
autoexec.bat file.
Parameters are case sensitive. Use a space between the command and the switch, and
between switches if you use more than one.
