Runonceex.cmd will not work

[bellsprout]

I made a runonceex.cmd using the runonceex.cmd creator. I put this file in %cdrom%\$OEM$ and put in it cmdlines.txt. This part is ok - the installer runs, but when it does, it says that it can't find any of the filenames if the apps. I'm sure I typed their names in correctly.

I specified the apps to be in %cdrom%\Apps, and that's exactly where they are.

This is my runoncecmd.exe:

any idea what the problem is?

Ok...since it says "cant find \Apps\etcetcetc" it just be the first line:

FOR %%i IN (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:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i:

This is supposed to find the CDROM, but it doesn't.

Runonceex.cmd creator generated this, so what's wrong?

Since a DOS batch file knows where it executes, then try this:

Based on the configuration of your RunOnceEx file, you need to create a CD.txt file and place it in the root folder of your XP install disk. More information on it here:

See if that helps.

Same dif right?

FOR %%i IN (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:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i:

Runonceex.cmd uses the file win51ip.SP2 instead of CD.txt

What's the purpose of a blank file that can't be written to anyway?
