Getting 3.3.5 ready.......

Is this correct?

REM Determine the WPI startup path.

REM If WPI should run off the CD the replace %dp0 with %CDROM%\PathToWPI

set WPIPATH=%CDROM%\software\WPI\

echo WPI will run from %WPIPATH%

it worked!!!

REM Make WPI driectory the current directory

for /F "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%WPIPATH%") DO echo %%i:

cd "%cdrom%\software\wpi"

now to use my Quick Batch Compiler to make this baby totally silent.

i hate the Cmd window. hate it!!!

what's the benifit of using the exe compared to the cmd? and for the exe do certain file need to be in any particualar places?

[Swimming_Bird]

My WPI is in %cdrom%\$oem$\WPI and all my software to be installed is in %cdrom%\Install

this is my wpi.cmd

@ECHO OFF

This is a sample from my config.js

prog[pn]=['O&O Defrag v6.5.851 Professional']

regb[pn]=['%cdrom%\\$OEM$\\Install\\O&ODefrag.6.5.851\\def6170.reg']
dflt[pn]=['yes']
cat[pn]=['System Tools']
pn++

If my cd rom drive is z:\ it will try to run z:\$oem$\wpi\$oem$\install\blahdir\blahsetup.exe

i tried all the modifications shown in this thread and i have tried to set the directory to %cdrom% and run %cdrom%\$oem$\wpi\wpi.hta but i get the same error. for some reason no matter how i change my wpi.cmd it gives the same error.

[donkeydan18]

I just use my old SIMPLE code and it works perfectly for me!!!

cmdow.exe @ /HID
@echo off

IF EXIST D:\WIN51 set CDROM=D:
IF EXIST E:\WIN51 set CDROM=E:
IF EXIST F:\WIN51 set CDROM=F:
IF EXIST G:\WIN51 set CDROM=G:
IF EXIST H:\WIN51 set CDROM=H:
IF EXIST I:\WIN51 set CDROM=I:
IF EXIST J:\WIN51 set CDROM=J:
IF EXIST K:\Win51 set CDROM=K:

%CDROM%

cd %CDROM%\Install\WPI\commmon\

regedit /S WPI.reg

cd %CDROM%\Install\WPI\

start /wait WPI.hta

exit

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This type of layout worked best for me. Thanks!
