lynchae Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I am trying to change my W2K unattended install to work with multiple hard drive systems. I had it working with no problems with a single hard drive using absolute pathnames for the GuiRunOnce to run my final install script. With relative pathnames I cannot get it to work. I have the winnt.sif in the I386 folder (as I did with the single hard drive load) and my batch script residing in the root of the CD. I referenced my batch file as follows:Command0=..\w2k.batThis did not work. When windows finishes loading and goes to find that file it says it cannot find it. I have tried numerous variations of this to get it to work. I have wasted at LEAST 15 cds trying to figure it out. I am at a complete loss. Any help would be appreciated..Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 VirtualPC is made by Microsoft now, and you can get a free 45 day trial download off their website.15 CDs. Depending on where you live, that doesn't cost mcuh. I can get a 50 spindle for 7 dollars (US).GUIRUNOnce >> NO RELATIVE PATHS!! They have to be defined. C:\ or %Systemdrive%. You have to have the full path whether by variable or hardcoded letter.%systemdrive% will be the drive Widnows is installed on%systemroot% is the Windows directory.since you are trying to run from CD, you can't do it without having some sort of batch file copied over that then executes it.
