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!!!

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.

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! :thumbup
