April 26, 200818 yr Hello,I'm rather new in this land of unattended installation and I'm fascinated! So far I succeeded to make an unattended XP with nLite, RvM integrator and DPBase. Now I would like to make an unattended DVD which installs XP on C:\ and all my apps on E:\ I searched a lot of threads and tutorials, but can't find an answer.Is there a way to do this with WPI?
April 27, 200818 yr Many apps have switches that will allow for installation on other locations, BUT for most you will have to learn complex scripts like auto-it to automate the installation process and area where the apps are installed to.EasyBOOT is an example of an app that you can define the location of :%wpipath%\Install\EasyBoot.exe /VERYSILENT /DIR="C:\Program Files\EasyBoot"
April 27, 200818 yr Author Thanks Kelsenellenelvian,If I understand you correctly I can change it for instance to this:%wpipath%\Install\EasyBoot.exe /VERYSILENT /DIR="E:\Program Files\Utilities\EasyBoot"Well learning complex scripting... In the old days of computers (way back in the eighties) I learned a little Basics. I also looked at the site of AutoIt and I feel like learning again. I think I will search for a simple guide or book that will help me. Any ideas?
April 27, 200818 yr Yes that would be the correct change.As for auto-it I know they have EXtensive forums and also make SURE you get scite for auto-it 3. IT really helps ALOT in making scripts.
April 27, 200818 yr Author OK, I will make scripting a summer project B) . First of all I'll will search for some book in learning scripting.Meanwhile I'll try to make my unattended XP adding my favorite apps on another partition than C:\.Thanks for helping!
