Wheres my thanks for explaining how to use CDswitch with WPI? http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=54644 hehehe, just kidding, keep up the great work both of ya.

UG!!!! I think ive found why its no longer working for me! i just checked the generate.js and apparently it looks for a wpi.ico to get the drive letter.... yeah... i removed that.. why thats been hardcoded into it is beyond me anyway, lol, just gonna test now. Yeah that works now, Person who started this thread, have you deleted the wpi.ico as well? im guessing you have because you had the exact same problems i was having, just put it back, lol

I have 2 CD drives K: & L:. L: is empty when I run a test in K:. You advised me to do this earlier, but now I removed it - It says 'set wpipath=%cdrom%'. Now it wants to start WPI.HTA from K:'s root, and as said before, the file resides in K:\$OEM$\$1\install\WPI. So that also didn't work. Got another idea? Thank you for your help anyway. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> u need to change the path in the cmd to something like start /wait %windir%\system32\mshta.exe "%CD%\install\wpi\wpi.hta" or it might be %systemdrive%\install\wpi\wpi.hta cantt remember

im having the same problem and its reall weird because it used to work, i run wpi from the cd, and ive tried to change so many things, and something that works when i test it locally doesnt work when i create the iso, its frustrating, it would work perfectly if it wasnt for %wpipath% somehow changing the %cdrom% variable to match it, so before "set wpipath=%cdrom%" %cdrom% = E: after it %cdrom% = E:\ so i tried taking the extra \ from the config.js and it went even stranger, its been doing my head in for the last 2 days, lol, i need %cdrom% to just = E: because i use it for switching cd's E:\ wont work for this purpose, and for some reason it changed what drive is the cd, lol, ive commented out the cmdow so i can see whats happening. for echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM% REM Determine the WPI startup path. REM if wpi should run off the cd the replace %~dp0 with %cdrom%. set wpipath=%cdrom% REM Hide this command window. REM %wpipath%\Tools\cmdow.exe @ /hid REM Special registry tweak needed. regedit /s "%wpipath%\wpi\common\wpi.reg echo %wpipath%\wpi\common\wpi.reg REM Make WPI directory the current directory. for /f "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%wpipath%") do %%i: cd "%wpipath%" i get.. Found CD-Rom as drive E: E:\wpi\common\wpi.reg E:\ but when it tried to install i get "Windows can not find D:\Install\trillian-v3.1.exe..." so its also changes which letter is the CD-Rom for some reason o_O i also had to change the path in config.js to cmd1[pn]=['%CDROM%Install\\trillian-v3.1.exe /VERYSILENT'] Otherwise it tried to install to D:\\Install my cd path looks like E:\WPI\ E:\Install\ why does %cdrom% change to imitate %wpipath% it would probably work fine if the 2 variables kept themselves to themselves the annoying thing is it was working until a couple of days ago, and i cant work out what ive messed up

This is very easy, im using your cd switch in my own WPI menu, i have it so that everything installs from my Unaatended Windows CD apart from Office 2003, so i have an option to install Office 2003, ive set office as the last item that will be installed by setting install order 999, then, command 1: cdswitch OFFICE2003 %CDROM% /d command 2: %CDROM%\office\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Unattended.MST /qb-
