Cant Find D:\ Error

[is0xx]

Hello, this my first time trying to run WPI directly from the CDROM

but i keep getting the cant find D:\...

The wpi Path = $OEM$\$1\Install\wpi

k...the FAQ on wpi's mainpage shows me an answer,cale n00b i aint getting it

However, I cannot test my installers anymore. I thought I read (in this thread somewhere) that this setup would work, and WPI would install the apps from "XPCD" dir as if the whole "XPCD" dir was the root of the CD??? What's wrong?

The error message I always get is "Windows cannot find D:\...."
But why is it looking in D:\ (my CD-Rom drive)??? I thought it is supposed to look WHEREVER wpi is?
A:  Is the Windows CD in the CDROM's tray ? If yes, remove it for testing purposes.
Searching for the %cdrom% path works the following way:

Get all the systems drive letters and their types (eg A=Floppy, C=Hdd, D=Cdrom, E=Cdrom, X=Network)
From these, take only Cdroms (D,E)
On the resulting drives, look for a file called WIN51 (D:\WIN51 if Windows-CD in drive)
If the file is found, then set %cdrom% = the resulting drive letter (%cdrom%=D:\), and exit
If not exited before, search the current directory for a file called WIN51
While WIN51 is NOT found, set current directory = parent directory and search again, until WIN51 is found or current directory=root directory.
If WIN51 is found then set %cdrom% = current directory (C:\XPCD in your case), and exit
If not exited before set %cdrom%=registry entry (HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Setup\\SourcePath)
end.

Remove the cd from its tray and try again.

call me tick,noob whatever i really have no single clue..all settings are set to run from %CDROM%

DO you actually have your files at wpi\install?

if not remove the \wpi\ from your autorun ok.

the only thing you really need is the %CDROM% part.

Missed a part in your first post.

Your cmd file should read thusly = %CDROM%\$OEM$\$1\Install\wpi

or change all of your prog entries to read %CDROM%\$OEM$\$1\Install\wpi\install\prog.exe

and leave the cmd file to read %CDROM%

btw ty for the adobe error..man i aint have my days

and the wpi mainsite shows me only this for install.cmd:

i think i have to start over again

[Kelsenellenelvian]

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\WPI\WPI.HTA

Shouldn't you be calling your WPI.CMD frome this one NOT wpi.hta?

Why THIS? =

WPI.cmd will do this.

All you need for the first one is to start wpi.cmd not all that other stuff.

like this

ECHO.

ECHO Calling WPI

ECHO.

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\WPI\WPI.CMD

exit

You need to call the CMD file to set the drive letter and use the reg fix needed to not get the time-out error.

oke ty for taking the time ..atm im running it from systemdrive. but i'd redo whit cdrom..i think i got it now..first need to save my ** bfore making mess again

Cheers for the help bro!! :

[Kelsenellenelvian]

also change the %CDROM% variable to %~dp0\install\wpi since you are really runing it from the hard drive after oem copying...
