WinAIAPackage is executed as:

WinAIAPackage.exe [options] [command]

Where valid options are:

--silent
--output-file [filename]

And where [command] is one of the following:

--get [group[ group[ ...]]]
--set-from-file [filename]
--set group.field=value [group.field=value [...]]
--initialize
--help

Note:

• The filenames should be provided with a full path to the file. This is because the program actually runs from out of the %TMP% folder, and so the relative path is also from the %TMP% folder.
• The filename for input data has each entry on a separate line, in the same group.field=value format.
• When the silent option is provided, there is no opportunity to abort an update in the set modes. Without this option, there is a confirmation dialog.

Examples shown below should be entered on one line. They are broken up to fit the 80 character width of a readme text file.

To get everything from the user information area (UIA):

WinAIAPackage.exe --get

To get only the OWNERDATA group, silently, while saving the output to a file:

WinAIAPackage.exe --silent --output-file "\path\to\file\aia_output.txt" --get OWNERDATA

To set the ASSET_NUMBER:

WinAIAPackage.exe --set "USERASSETDATA.ASSET_NUMBER=ABC 123"

To set one of the user-specifiable values:

WinAIAPackage.exe --set "USERDEVICE.My Field=My Value"

All options, group names and field names are case-insensitive, except for the USERDEVICE group and the prefix value.

If no options are specified or an incorrect option is specified, then the help text for the utility is displayed.

Here is a list of the valid group names and their associated fields:

Notes:

• The NETWORKCONNECTION group, supported by the DOS utilities, is NOT supported by WinAIAPackage.
• The USERASSETDATA.ASSET_NUMBER is available through WMI by querying the SMBIOSAssetTag field of the Win32_SystemEnclosure class.

When WinAIAPackage closes, one of the following return codes is provided:

Note:

*: The installation of the dependency drivers requires that WinAIAPackage be run with administrator privileges. Once the drivers are installed, or if they were already installed, the program can be run with normal user privileges.
