Can WPI be used on a removable drive rather than a CD?

[lurk&jerk]

Is there a substitute for the %cdrom% command line parameter? If so, what? I do not know what drive letter my removable drive will be after setup. It varies. Also can WPI be used from a fixed drive? I'm asking because file copying is much faster than using a cd or dvd

Technically, %cdrom% will work everytime. All it is based on is where it finds wpi.hta or win51 or i386\driver.cab. So if you launch WPI from your removable drive, it will find it.

%wpipath% could actaully be worse in your case. if you embed WPI in sub-directories and have the installers out in the root, then %wpipath% will be wrong.

Stick with %cdrom%.

Thanks for the replies. %wpipath% worked out great for me.
