[confused about copy]

ok then wen ur settin up ur xp instll cd the batch file has commands like

ECHO.
ECHO Installing WinRAR 3.41
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\WinRAR\wrar341.exe /s

isnt that running the file from the cd?

[confused about copy]

i see alot of ppl using copy in there batch commands but they have it like

copy %systemdrive%\......\.....\somefile.ext %systemdrive%\......\.....\somefile.ext

so i was wondering doesn %systemdrive% refer to the CD during the installin process? so wouldnt that try to copy the file to the CD instead of teh HD?

Use this syntax in your batch_file.cmd =

ECHO.

ECHO Registering and Activating Norton Anti-Virus 2005

ECHO Please wait...

MKDIR "%systemdrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccpd-lc"

COPY "%systemdrive%\install\applications\Nav2005\symlcrst.dll" "%systemdrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccpd-lc\"

REGEDIT /S %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\applications\Nav2005\NAVSETUP.reg

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Norton Anti-Virus 2005

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\applications\Nav2005\NAVSETUP.exe "/qn /noreboot REBOOT=ReallySuppress"

i dont see how that could work %systemdrive at the time refers to the CD doesnt it...so your copy and mkdir commands dont make sense to me, correct me if im wrong im new to this whole thing
