Do you have a file called CD.txt in the root of your CD?

looks fine to me... tsunami is probably right.

I suggest you use the following code to obtain your %CDROM%:

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:

It is compact and it work great. If you want, you can change the target file it is looking for to anything else you wish that is present at ROOT of your CD. For me, I am looking for a file called CD.bin instead of CD.txt

Thanks guys. i figured out that the (\) after &cdrom& shouldn't be there. that always got the error message was because of that. now it works great.

it shouldn't be like this="%CDROM%\Software\MSN_Messenger.msi /qn as i saw in the msfn tutorial examples

it didn't work for me anyway, but should be as follow:

"%CDROM%Software\MSN_Messenger.msi /qn

maybe many beginners like me make this kind of simple mistakes.

thanks everybody who took time and answered me concerning my problem in this case.

It all depends on the code you are using to get your CD-ROM drive letter...

In my example, I have to put %CDROM%\
