Installs or removes a Connection Manager service profile. Used without optional parameters, cmstp installs a service profile with default settings appropriate to the operating system and to the user's permissions.
Syntax 1: ServiceProfileFileName**.exe /q:a /c:"cmstp.exe** ServiceProfileFileName**.inf** [/nf] [/ni] [/ns] [/s] [/su] [/u]"
Syntax 2: cmstp.exe [/nf] [/ni] [/ns] [/s] [/su] [/u] "[Drive**:][Path]ServiceProfileFileName.inf"**
ServiceProfileFileName .exe : Required for Syntax 1 but not valid for Syntax 2. Specifies, by name, the installation package that contains the profile that you want to install.
/q:a : Required for Syntax 1 but not valid for Syntax 2. Specifies that the profile should be installed without prompting the user. The verification message that the installation has succeeded will still appear.
[ Drive : ][ Path ] ServiceProfileFileName .inf : Required. Specifies, by name, the configuration file that determines how the profile should be installed. The [Drive**:**][Path] parameter is not valid for Syntax 1.
/nf : Specifies that the support files should not be installed.
/ni : Specifies that a desktop icon should not be created. This parameter is only valid for computers running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows Millennium Edition.
/ns : Specifies that a desktop shortcut should not be created. This parameter is only valid for computers running Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
/s : Specifies that the service profile should be installed or uninstalled silently (without prompting for user response or displaying verification message).
/su : Specifies that the service profile should be installed for a single user rather than for all users. This parameter is only valid for computers running Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
/u : Specifies that the service profile should be uninstalled.
/? : Displays help at the command prompt.
/s is the only parameter that you can use in combination with /u.
Syntax 1 is the typical syntax used in a custom installation application. To use this syntax, you must run cmstp from the directory that contains the ServiceProfileFileName.exe file.
The following examples show possible uses of cmstp in relation to a fictional service profile called Fiction and its associated files.
To install the Fiction service profile without any support files, type:
fiction.exe /c:"cmstp.exe fiction.inf /nf"
To silently install the Fiction service profile for a single user, type:
fiction.exe /c:"cmstp.exe fiction.inf /s /su"
To silently uninstall the Fiction service profile, type:
fiction.exe /c:"cmstp.exe fiction.inf /s /u"
