coucou Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Hello,I've prepared a DVD with an unattended Windows 7 and start adding softwares, I feel quickly cramped. As Windows 7 as welle as the new softwares are GB sized, I was looking for buiding 2 DVDs, the first will contain Windows 7 (4GB), the second all other softwares. To pass from the first DVD to the second I needed a DVD switcher. I built CDVD-Switcher. is an AutoIt script, tested, working.Here how the CDVD-Switcher script will run.Copy CDVD-Switcher.exe to DVD1 (Windows7) %CDROM%\sources\$OEM$\$$\Setup\scripts\ folderAdd in the Autounattend.xml file the here bellow command. it should be at the last one <Order>last</Order><FirstLogonCommands> ... ... ... <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>4</Order> <Description>Windows Post Install Wizard</Description> <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait c:\Windows\Setup\scripts\CDVD-Switcher.exe</CommandLine> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands>The DVD2 (softwares) have to be configured as %CDROM%\Software\WPI\WPI.exe unless you modify the path in the script.That means, during Windows7 installation CDVD-Switcher.exe will be copied in C:\Windows\Setup\scripts\ folder, thenlaunched from hard drive, testing if the DVD1 has %CDROM%\Software\WPI\WPI.exe file. As is not exists in DVD1 you have to insert DVD2.That's itEnjoyCDVD-Switcher.zip Edited January 18, 2011 by coucou
coucou Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 I added a 1 hour idle timing to CDVD-Switcher scriptIt means: if no action, exit and continue/finish Windows installationEnjoy
hfuria Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 You can use a DVD 8gb or bluray. There will be no need to switch media during the installation.
