Profile Wizard

How to Run the Profile Wizard from the Command Line

You can run the Profile Wizard from the command line with no loss in functionality. Every option available in the wizard has a corresponding command-line switch.

Use the following syntax:

Proflwiz.exe [[/r] [/s] <settings filename>] [/d] [/i <INI filename>] [/q] [/p] [/e]

The following table describes these command-line options.

Note When you use the Profile Wizard to restore the settings from the OPS file, and use the Reset to defaults before restoring settings option, be aware that any customizations you have made to the ResetToDefaults sections of the Proflwiz.ini file are ignored. The settings in the ResetToDefaults section of the Proflwiz.ini file are added to the OPS file when the OPS is written. If you want to use your customized ResetToDefaults settings, use the Office Custom Installation Wizard to include the OPS file as part of the Office 2000 Setup process.

The <settings filename> parameter is required if either the /s switch or the /r switch is used. If no additional switches are used, both progress bars and error messages are displayed.

You can use the /r switch and the /d switch together.

If the /s switch and the /d switch are specified in the same command line, the /d switch is ignored.

The /p and /e switches are mutually exclusive.
