As I use OEM Recovery Tool, it is not useful (desired) to get exe files on C (system) partition, as apps are frequently updated (e.g. iTunes, flash, etc.).

So, question is how to set path to D partition (what is correct path or procedure or commands)?

e.g. - D:/SetupFiles/iTunesSetup.exe

Should it be first copied to install folder, or it is possible to execute directly from D?

I am not sure what your asking here.

The MOST commonly used way for wpi LEAVES all of the installer files on the SOURCE. i.e. cd\dvd or usb stick.

I guess how my explanation of the reason confuse you, but I believe how "technical part" of the question should be clear:

- If PC have more than one partition (more than C partition), e.g. C, D, E, how should to look path command, if installer file is on the partition D and not on the main Windows OS system partition C?

So, I see and understand how it should to be for DVD and PC with one partition (just C, or D, or whatever), but what in the case with more partitions?

WPI, when configured properly (Use the "%wpipath%\install\blah.exe" /switch method) always will run the app from the location wpi.exe resides.

See the example in the manual.

Also please remember wpi is not free for buisness uses.

Yeah.

I only mentioned buisness use because you seem to want to use it in a lot of possible different settings.

???

No, just one setting, the D partition.

If you mean (relatively) lot of PCs, answer is yes.

P.S. But I found MUCH better option how to do it.

I mean you have to pay to be able to use WPI in a buisness setting (Yes alot of pc's).

But you say you found a better way.
