How to find system root drive in Win 9X

[jorsak]

I've created a batch file that allows me to do a silent install of a number of diagnostics utilities in win 2K and Win xp.

I'm trying to re-write it for win 9x.

The problem I'm having is that I don't know the root drive on all these machines. They could change.

In win 2K/XP I use the command %systemdrive% to determine this.

That doesn't work in win 9x and I've seen the command %windir% (if memory serves) but I've had no luck with it either.

Can someone tell me how to determine the main system drive in Win9x?

"System Drive = C:"

"%windir%=C:\WINDOWS"

Innovation:

cls

@echo off

SET sysdrv=%windir:~0,2%

start /wait %sysdrv%\Install\.E.X.A.M.P.L.E.

EXCELLENT! I can't wait to try this. Ihad just resorted to using the drive letter C and knowing that if the system drive was anything other than C, I couldn't use my little app. Most systems have a C as their root, but who wants to count on that.

Thanks so much.
