Hi,

I'm new to the forum and i am confused on how does Windows Setup know what letter has my cd drive?, What if i add another CD-drive or do an uninstall on another pc with many CD-DRIVES

May I modify the unattended.bat CD letter as follow:

FROM:

set AnswerFile=.\unattend.txt

set SetupFiles=k:\amd64

K:\amd64\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /copysource:lang

TO:

set AnswerFile=.\unattend.txt

set SetupFiles=%CDROM%:\amd64

%CDROM%:\amd64\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /copysource:lang

thanks for your response in advanced.

Perhaps try this in your bat

for %%i in (%Char%) do if not exist %%i\SETUP.exe Goto Missing

:Confirm
set CDROM=%%i
set AnswerFile=.\unattend.txt
set SetupFiles=%CDROM%:\amd64

%CDROM%:\amd64\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /copysource:lang

Goto TheEnd

set CDROM=Error Unknown Occur

echo %CDROM%
pause
Goto TheEnd

Exit

Thanks for your response, I'll give it a try.

u can use the following code in your bat file

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

echo off

cls

for /f "tokens=3" %%i IN ('reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup /v "SourcePath" ^| findstr "REG_SZ"') do set SOURCE=%%i

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

so u can point to files on your disk as

eg.,

echo Installing Directx 9c

%source%\i386\svcpack\dx.exe
