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

[Mike69]

no i didnt

tks for the tip i´ll try it

but wpi.ico isnt just an icon??

[Kelsenellenelvian]

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

[Mike69]

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??

[colinbate]

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%
