Need help with my CD iso boot image

[SiXXGuNNZ]

okay I created a modified cd boot image from the win 98 se cd.

autoexec.bat

now the menu loads fine, but when I go to run the setup for the certain os's, I get setup files not found. Now I am not very familiar with dos, but I did look at the one that was there to install 98 and used that for the modified ones. maybe someone can help me out with this? I would appreciate it greatly. and this is a nice tidy version I am doing for my own backup purposes. Thanks in advance.

hmm...just an idea ...

try to add(autoexec.bat) "set path=path of your winXX setup files ..."

maybe it works now ...

I am a DOS newbie so if I were to add the path to a cd rom that isn't there yet, if you know how the boot works, it selects the install then loads the cd then the files for setup. would the path be "/%CDROM%/98SE" say for win98? also this is the original win98 boot process and it loads windows just fine.

@ECHO OFF
set EXPAND=YES
SET DIRCMD=/O:N
cls
set temp=c:\
set tmp=c:\
path=a:\

IF "%config%"=="NOCD" GOTO QUIT
LH MSCDEX.EXE /Demcd001 /L

echo.
IF "%config%"=="SETUP_CD" goto AUTOSETUP
GOTO QUIT

:AUTOSETUP
set CDROM=FOO23
FINDCD.EXE
if "%CDROM%"=="FOO23" goto NOCDROM
path=a:\;%CDROM%\
%CDROM%
cd \WIN98
echo.
OEMSETUP.EXE /K "/IE /NF"
goto QUIT

:NOCDROM
echo.
echo The Windows 98 Setup files were not found.
echo.

:QUIT

in bold is the part that tells dos to go to the directory and load oemsetup.exe, yes, I can still set it to load that if I like, but why not just have it load setup.exe, I have installed win98 many times from dos, but that is manually typing the stuff, just looking for an automatic solution.

 

[elpresidente]

hmm...ok ...

:AUTOSETUP
set CDROM=FOO23
FINDCD.EXE
if "%CDROM%"=="FOO23" goto NOCDROM
path=a:\;%CDROM%\;a:\;%CDROM%\win98
%CDROM%
cd \WIN98
echo.
OEMSETUP.EXE /K "/IE /NF"
goto QUIT

then wouldn't that void out the "cd \WIN98" command?

 

[elpresidente]

yeah it would ... u can remove cd win98 ... but still try to change it that way ...
cause
maybe after starting setup, win jumps to the root dir of your cd and doesn´t find the files ...
that´s the background of my thoughts ..... as said ..just an idea
