Lost Soul Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 hi well this is my first attempt at making a unattended run from a cd-rom instead of carying overheres my problemive placed in the root of the cd my applications that id like to instal in a folder names applicationsthis is the way my gui is set up[GuiRunOnce]%cdrom%\install\wpi\wpi.cmd in the winnt.sif andand ive even changed the path like this set wpipath=%cdrom% with in the wpi.cmd fileand well the wpi.cmd file is being called and found perfectly butit then says cant find the common/VideoChanger.execant find common/fontsthen it cant find the wpi.hta.... this is kinda strange so far ive tried a few ways to go about this..ive tried having my wpi folder in the root and ive tried having my wpi folder in the instal folder with in the oem folder so it carrys over and i still get this same situation..well actually i get this when i run it from it being copyied over from the instal folder the other way having it placed in the root of the cd,,, shows file cant be found which is wpi.cmdany ideals,,, i have a good few tools/progs i want to try to instal from the cd it self like office toolsthanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Plaes post your wpi.cmd amd generate.js file also do you have wpi.ico or win51 at the root of your cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Soul Posted May 30, 2005 Author Share Posted May 30, 2005 thanks,, now should i keep my wpi folder in the $OEM$\$1\Install or move it back to the root ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Personally i would keep it at the root of your cd. Don't forget to edit the cmd file accordingly. (path to wpi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Soul Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 thanks kelsenellenelvian ill give it a shot and ill post back the results tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Soul Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 well ive tested it out in both ways againfirst test with the wpi folder in the root..the result is it cant find the %CDROM%\wpi\wpi.cmd filesecond test with the wpi folder inside the oem instal folderthe result is it can find the wpi.cmd file but it still says cant find the common/video changer and then it cant find the common/fonts and then it cant find the wpi.hta fileand these results are with me adding/replacing my wpi.cmd and generate.js with yoursim puzzled as to why this keeps happening, i know i can instal them by the method of files being copyied to the hard drive but this method would be alot faster considering how many gigs it takes up..do you have any other ideals on what i could try ?

Lost Soul Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 ok ive just ran another test in vmware and with the wpi folder in the root windows still isnt finding the %CDROM%\wpi\wpi.cmd filegod what am i doing wrong that every one else is doing so right,, why cant i get this to run from a cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 put wpi.cmd at the root of your cd and make sure where it says:set wpipath=%cdrom%That it says:set wpipath=%cdrom%\WPIAlso how are you calling WPI.cmd??From winnt.sif it should read something like:"%CDROM%\wpi.cmd"Personally I have some stuff (NOT WPI) copied over from &OEM% folders and I keep my wpi.cmd in the system32 folder and then call it to point to the cd and run WPI.After wpi runs the CMD file I have it deletes itself.

Lost Soul Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 i have it in my winnt.sif like this[GuiRunOnce]%CDROM%\WPI\WPI.cmd... so let me get this right your saying to take wpi.cmd out of the wpi folder and just have it placed by it self in the root of the cd apart from the rest of its files ?wont it have trouble calling to the other files ?

Kelsenellenelvian Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Yes on the first one and as long as %wpipath% is set at %CDROM%\wpi it would read fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
