Hi Chris, Unfortunately, it appears that sysocmgr utility only looks at 2 sections of an answer file.
>From the KB article: The answer file can be any Windows answer file and only parses the [Components] and [NetOptionalComponents] sections. In order to get "File and Print Sharing" installed, it would need to read: [NetServices] MS_Server = params.MS_Server Which it won't.. :( Any other ideas ?

If it hasn't then you will need to create an unattended setup install file and use the sysocmgr utility to install the required components. For this utility you probably want to start at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=222444 -----Original Message----- From: Unmoderated discussion of advanced .NET topics. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig Larsen Sent: Thursday, 14 July 2005 9:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Programmatically installing "File and Print Sharing" Greetings, I need to be able to detect if "File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks" (the "Server" service) has been installed and started. If it has not been installed, then I need to programmatically install it and then start the Server service. Any ideas on how to do this ?
