for example i have this command in wpi

%cdrom%\software\office2003\setup.exe

but when wpi starts and i select to install this app

it says it cant find the location in c:\software\office2003\setup.exe

help please

Did you place wpi.ico in the root of your cd, because wpi.cmd uses it to set the variable %cdrom% .

no i didnt

tks for the tip i´ll try it

but wpi.ico isnt just an icon??

yes it is just an icon wpi just looks for it.

tks man tou are a life saver!!!

it worked like a charm

i didnt the any ideia of what was going on!!

inst a bit strange wpi locating the cdrom drive with an icon??

If you check wpi.cmd it checks for the wpi.ico file to find drive letter for cdrom see below

REM Example, how to look for CDROM-drive. Must have a file to identify in its root (like WIN51 or WPI.ico).
for %%i in (C 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:\wpi.ico set CDROM=%%i:
echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM%
