    77    <p>The <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> installation can be started in either of the following
     
    119119    <pre xml:space="preserve">VirtualBox.exe -msiparams ADDLOCAL=VBoxApplication,VBoxUSB</pre>
    120120    <pre xml:space="preserve">msiexec /i VirtualBox-&lt;version&gt;-Win.msi ADDLOCAL=VBoxApplication,VBoxUSB</pre>
    121     <p>The user is able to choose between NDIS5 and NDIS6 host network filter drivers during the installation. This is
    122       done using a command line parameter, <codeph>NETWORKTYPE</codeph>. The NDIS6 driver is the default for most
    123       supported Windows hosts. For some legacy Windows versions, the installer will automatically select the NDIS5
    124       driver and this cannot be changed. </p>
    125     <p>You can force an install of the legacy NDIS5 host network filter driver by specifying
    126         <codeph>NETWORKTYPE=NDIS5</codeph>. For example, to install the NDIS5 driver on Windows 7 use either of the
    127       following commands: </p>
    128     <pre xml:space="preserve">VirtualBox.exe -msiparams NETWORKTYPE=NDIS5</pre>
    129     <pre xml:space="preserve">msiexec /i VirtualBox-&lt;version&gt;-Win;.msi NETWORKTYPE=NDIS5</pre>
