Hi There,

I tried to search it up, but no luck. I have seen it before,

What are the commands to search for the CD Drive during Batch install. I want to install software from CD. This will save on install time, so it won't copy EVERYTHING to the Hard Drive. I USe Xplode to Allow Software selection, and sometimes I do a "Lite" Install with nothing.

I think there is a way to search for a Certian file and then when it finds it you can assign that location a Drive. That way whatever your CD Drive letter is it will still be correct.

Thanx!

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:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:


Then just create the file cd.txt or replace it with any other file that is on the root of the cd
