JPamplin Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Does this run in DOS? I'm looking for a safe way to eject a CD and insert another one without losing the location of the batch file and having an invalid COMMAND.COM file from the bootable floppy portion of the first CD.Thanks,JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twizt3d Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 can I run this from cmdlines.txt? if so do you switch back to cd1 to finish installing windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ankap Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 No from cmdlines.txt it will not run because windows installation hasnt finished that time.You can run it from GuiRunOnce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fdisk Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 could we have the passphrase to decompile cdchg ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fdisk Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 it would be cool if it would check for the cd label before it ejects and ask for the second cd just in case it was already in another drive that way it would be a true unattented install with 2 disc . only have it ask for the second disc if it isnt found first.

LeDieuJulien Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Were do I put cdchg.exe in my cd?Is D:\WinXP\$OEM$\$$\System32\cdchg.exe the good place ?Thanks, very useful idea (I have not finished my cds yet but iam sur that will be helpful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRJacobs Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 sorry i'm confused... your program seems just what i'm looking for BUT (excuse my big but here )on the beginning thread you have an exe called install.exe, then further along you say you've updated it and now you have a exe called cdchg.exe then you answer fdisk about a change you'll domy question is which is the NEWEST? it would SEEM cdchgr but cdchgr shows a created date of 12/25/2004 and install shows a created date of 2/9/2005my second question isdoes this mean "x" is a variable - i want your prog to setup to use a runonce reg entry so that after a reboot it will run WPI from a batch file on a second CD named APPS i would need only enter"cdchg.exe APPS "\wpi\WpiRun1.cmd %systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd -n"or do need to hardcode the drive as "X"cdchg.exe "My Label" \install\runonceex.cmd %systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd(checks for label "My Label" if ok pressed runs "x:\instal\runonceex.cmd x:" if cancel pressed runs "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd")Note: it returns cd-drive letter to batch file. when used with .exe put -n at the andcdchg.exe MSOffice "\ms office\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=office.mst /qb-" %systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd -n(checks for label MSOffice, runs setup.exe from Office CD with unattended transforms)thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
