Copy files to different dir - bobo5290461 - 2009-03-26
Hi, i'm a first time user of windows unattended cd creator.

So just copy to the directory portable and thats it. How do i do this in the program windows unattended cd creator?
TX anyone, anywhere, anytime, anyhow.

1. integrate portable soft as any another soft in CD
2. as install step use xcopy instead of "anysetup.exe" like:
xcopy "%cdrom%\portable\firefox" "c:\progs\firefox" /S /R
this copy a directory from CD to your directory on HDD. Read more help about xcopy in internet.

I have tried with :
xcopy %CDROM%\Software\Portable" "c:\Portable" /R /S
and it doesn't work.

Thank you very much.
It works great now.
Only the program asks me if its a file or a directory so i needed another switch
xcopy "%CDROM%\Software\Portable" "c:\Portable" /R /S /I
i have put an /I after it , does that seems right to you or is it in the wrong place?
