[XPlode 4.3 Series]

regarding post 28, the PDF states #XPLODE# evaluates to the directory where XPlode resides; so if it is residing on the CD then... The example shows c:\install.

2.1 #XPLODE#

The variable #XPLODE# is substituted for the directory XPlode resides. Example:

#XPLODE# = C:“Install

Thank you all very much. This is most helpful.

I previously didn't see the settings for the program files and documents and settings in the sif file.

then the link below provided an easy way to assign drive letters.

Thanks to all again.

[separating drives]

I like to put program files, documents & settings, windows, temp and swap on separate drives. I know how to accomplish this after an installation using the following for program files for example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion]

"ProgramFilesDir"="p:\\pgms"

"CommonFilesDir"="p:\\pgms\\Common Files"

However early-on in the installation, these logical drive letters have not yet been assigned. Would the syntax below work?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion]

"ProgramFilesDir"="multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\\pgms"

"CommonFilesDir"="multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\\pgms\\Common Files"

If not, any ideas?
