Possible to start Software from DVD

[Modano]

Hi everyone,

trying to work with WIHU. There is one problem I want to solve. My Appz are on DVD, path:

%CDROM%\Software\app1...and so on..

Which command must the WIHU install.ini have? Is this possible?

I don´t wabt to copy 3GB from DVD ($OEM$\$1\install\Software) to my PC.

Anybody an idear?

%SRCDRIVE% - Works for me.

I know this is an old topic, and more than likely you may have found the answer, But I had the same question.

Turns out the answer is right at the beginning of the online manual.

The above works, but for some reason it only worked in my VMware Test. When I tried to run the Installs from My cd on a real system it failed.

Here is what I did to make it work.

WIHUstart.cmd

cmdow @ /HID

@echo off

IF EXIST D:\CD.txt set CDROM=D:

IF EXIST E:\CD.txt set CDROM=E:

IF EXIST F:\CD.txt set CDROM=F:

IF EXIST G:\CD.txt set CDROM=G:

IF EXIST H:\CD.txt set CDROM=H:

IF EXIST I:\CD.txt set CDROM=I:

IF EXIST J:\CD.txt set CDROM=J:

ECHO.

start /wait %CDROM%\WIHU\wihu.exe /skiprestart /skipsettings

ECHO.

EXIT

Then I placed my Software Folders within the WIHU Folder. "WIHU\Software\Productivity\VMwareSilentInstall\VMware.exe" <--Example

The INI commands are then written like this..

;sub command 2

description.2 = VMware WorkStation

command.2 = %WIHU%\Software\Productivity\VMwareSilentInstall\VMware.exe

selected.2 = 0

Works perfectly... Everything installs from the DVD.
