I have an unattended Windows XP Installation CD. At the end of the installation, I want a program to run that will prompt to insert the Windows 2003 CDROM and press ok. In the background I need it to autodetet the CDROM Drive letter and output it as a variable named %1.<br />
<br />
Then it will run a command with the %1 in the command line... &nbsp; %1:\Office2003\setuppro.ex<wbr />e and launch the setup.<br />
<br />
<br />
I thought batch or a VBS would be the best way to go, but I dont know how to get the cdrom drive letter to detect and output as a variable.<br />
<br />
Im looking for any kind of solution for this issue, wether it be in VB or batch... anything.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
