ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank You

try removing the cmdow command at the begging so you actually see the batch. Then put a pause after the change CD2 and CD3 prompts line in the batch. Perhaps it's giving you an error and you're not seeing it.

**Hbomb341** · June 28, 2004

Ok below I figured out where it breaks. It is when you click Yes on the Change CD 2 prompt it kills the batch. No error displayed or anything.

Any Idea's?

I suspect ... Miss Scarlet in the Parlor with a Candlestick.

I mean ... I suspect the VB Script, which you start without a wait: you will show a box, but the batch WILL continue as coded.

I would use a small "helper program" for the message box. There are a few out there (first found: http://www.filesland.com/companies/Berkele...ny/MsgBox.html). Haven't tested it, but it is something like that I would use.

EDIT:: THis may be the best ...

Sorry 'bout that ... I did say I hadn't tested it ...

You code is simple: Copy files, switch CD, copy more, switch again, copy, sitch, install. What I don't like is the passed parameters for MessageBox: you have the slash in the parameteres, and you also should have quotes around any text with a white space. And why us there an ECHO before the CDR Eject?

Try using this code for the first CD. I know the text is not as you like ... but try AS IS, and if it works THEN change the text, using quotes where needed.

ECHO.

Tried that EXACT code and it does the same thing. Now it REALLY has me. Any other idea's?

**GreenMachine** · June 29, 2004

Looks like you'll need the heavy artillary ... Try this code, and then look at C:\GM.LOG after setup fo find where it craps out.

ECHO.
ECHO Step 1 >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\GM.LOG
START "Open tray" /WAIT %SYSTEMDRIVE%\INSTALL\TOOLS\CDR.EXE OPEN ALL
ECHO Step 2 >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\GM.LOG

ECHO Copying Install Files ....... Please Wait

**Hbomb341** · June 29, 2004

Step 3 is as far as it get's.

**GreenMachine** · June 29, 2004

Meaning Step 3 is written to the log, and the last step to work correctly? If so the problem is in CDR - CLOSE. I'll look at it a bit here ...

**GreenMachine** · June 29, 2004

If there is a smple way to debug ... I haven't learned it yet. It seems that CDR CLOSE is causing the problems. Remove that command, and close the CD manually, and this will confirm if it is the problem. It could be a simple timing issue: you close the CD programatically, and then start copying files. The CD has not yet been recognized by the system, and errors out.

I would just slowly step through the whole thing, putting a lot of PAUSE statements in, and looking around after each. Trial and error ...

**Hbomb341** · July 1, 2004

Ok I removed the close cmd and it still crash's. I am going to try to remove the open cmd and see what happens.

**Hbomb341** · July 1, 2004

OK there is no open / close it is just the prompt and then xcopy it stops running after the promp close; nothign is run after that. My DVD install.bat is the exact same but not cd prompt and xcopy and that works AOK.
