CHANDER Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 If you use %systemdrive%\Install\Installfile.exe it will look for the files under the drive you installed windows on
navagator68 Posted January 28, 2005 Author Posted January 28, 2005 If you use %systemdrive%\Install\Installfile.exe it will look for the files under the drive you installed windows on I am using the %systemdrive%\Install\Installfile.exe command which is called from my sif file but i still get "windows cannot find D:\....".What do i have to change in my wpi cmd file to tell it to look on my c drive not my d drive for the applications that where just coppied from my unattened cd.
bart of borg Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Are you using the %systemdrive% parameter in your configure.js file too?

Astalavista Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 really now i did not know that u hv to do that.why wouldn't simply editing the config.js with %systemdrive% work?
