I have my files on my xp cd in a install map.

I run WPI from my hard disk (C:\laborxp\installation)

this is my cmd :

@ECHO OFF

REM
REM WPI startup module.
REM 

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:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i:
echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM%

REM Determine the WPI startup path. 
REM if wpi should run off the cd the replace %~dp0 with %CDROM%.
set wpipath=%~dp0

REM Hide this command window.
"%wpipath%\common\cmdow.exe" @ /hid

REM Font installation - the smooth and customizable way.
start /wait %wpipath%\common\fonts\fontinstaller.exe

REM Special registry tweak needed.
regedit /s "%wpipath%\common\wpi.reg"

REM Make WPI directory the current directory.
for /f "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%wpipath%") do %%i:
cd "%wpipath%"

REM Start WPI and wait for its end
start /wait WPI.hta

REM Cleaning up the desktop.
del /s/q "%userprofile%\desktop\*.lnk"

REM Confirming a reboot...
echo Dim WshShell, oExec>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
echo Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
echo answer = Msgbox("The installation process has finished. Do you wish to reboot now?",VBYesNo,"Windows Post Installation Wizard")>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
echo if answer = 6 then>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
echo oExec = WshShell.Run("SHUTDOWN -r -t 0", 1, true)>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
echo end if>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
echo set WshShell = nothing>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
%tmp%\WPI.vbs
del /q %tmp%\WPI.vbs

exit

:end

When i try to test wpi i get a lot of errors.

Because it can't find the installfiles.

It goes allways to this folder : C:\laborxp\installation\Install

In my WPI configuration it's like this :

%CDROM%\install\mpeg2\MPEG-2.EXE /s

can someone give me some advice pls?

thanks

Filip

REM Determine the WPI startup path.

REM if wpi should run off the cd the replace %~dp0 with %CDROM%.

set wpipath=%~dp0

Change %~dp0 to %CDROM%.

This is covered in the WPI.CMD file that comes with WPI.

If your going to use this app at least take a look at it and get a feel for what its doing.

no , i run WPI from my harddisk but my files are on the cd-rom.

greets

You still need to make that change so the cdrom variable is set to %wpipath%....

So this will allow files to be loaded from cd? And thats all thats needed?
