Hi There,

I tried to search it up, but no luck. I have seen it before,

What are the commands to search for the CD Drive during Batch install. I want to install software from CD. This will save on install time, so it won't copy EVERYTHING to the Hard Drive. I USe Xplode to Allow Software selection, and sometimes I do a "Lite" Install with nothing.

I think there is a way to search for a Certian file and then when it finds it you can assign that location a Drive. That way whatever your CD Drive letter is it will still be correct.

Thanx!

Then just create the file cd.txt or replace it with any other file that is on the root of the cd
