WPI Selects incorrect CD-ROM Drive

[Ghost_Shield]

Hi Everyone.

Im fairly new to this program and basically what i am trying to do is make a cd with an autorun of the WPI interface.

When WPI executes a program it is looking in the wrong drive for the exe. The WPI.cmd is correctly detecting the right CD-ROM but when it comes to executing the programs from WPI.hta it always selects the drive one letter before the correct one. ie. My CD-ROM is F: and WPI.cmd detects it as such. When i installs Winamp, for example, the message "Windows cannot find 'E:\install\winamp\winamp.exe' Make sure ... " occurs.

Below is a copy of the code from config.js

...

prog[pn]=['WinAmp']

uid[pn]=['WINAMP']

picw[pn]=['128']

pich[pn]=['128']

desc[pn]=['WinAmp 5.21']

textl[pn]=['Bottom']

texti[pn]=['1']

ordr[pn]=[12]

cmd1[pn]=['%CDROM%install\\winamp\\winamp.exe /S']

gcond[pn]=['FileExists(\'%programfiles%\\\')']

cat[pn]=['Applications']

pn++

...

Any ideas on how i can fix this would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks in advance

At first glance, you need \\ after the %CDROM%

%CDROM%\\install\\winamp\winamp.exe /S

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I thought so too but when i put that switch in all i get is

"Windows cannot find 'E:\\install\winamp\winamp.exe' Make sure ... "

Any other ideas?

Hi Ghost_Shield!

Try this : %CDROM%\install\winamp\winamp.exe /S

Hi again.

Malfunction,

The code you posted is what i currently have.

Kelsenellenelvian (Hope i spelt that right),

Below is WPI.cmd. As I said before it seems to detect the CD-ROM correctly here but running the applications doesnt.

Thanks for your help

@ECHO OFF

REM Example, how to look for CDROM-drive. Must have WPI.ico at the root of the CD.

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:\WPI.ico 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=%CDROM%

REM Hide this command window.

I to am having this problem, WPI.cmd selects the correct cd drive (virtual drive G:) but always looks in D: when installing programs.

Hi all,

I've been stuffing around with the generate.js file trying to fix this problem. I think what is the problem is the following if statement from FindCDRom() doesnt work.

if (LaunchFromCD=="no")

FindFile="WIN51";

else

FindFile="WPI.ICO";

I believe this because when i change the "no" to a "yes" all my problems are solved.

Could someone double check this for me so if it is a problem it can be fixed in the next version?

Thanks

This option is removed from v5.0. Things are finally getting wrapped up for a release. Look for some screen shots.
