Cdrom

[comanche]

I am distributing software to many different places and I need a script to identify which cd drive the cd is in. HELP

[Jos]

What isn't working or what do you specifically need help with?

First question I have to ask is why? Meaning why do you need to know which drive the CD is in? Because the answer to this is probably going to answer a lot of other questions we might come up with.

Second question is, what have you tried and have you searched the forum? This has been asked and answered many times, and if you haven't done at least a search, then we need to know what you've tried.

As a starting point check function DriveGetDrive.

[Decipher]

Func LocateDrive($sPath)
     Local $aDrive = DriveGetDrive("CDROM")
     For $iLetter = 1 To $aDrive[0] Step 1
             if FileExists($aDrive[$iLetter] & "\" & $sPath) then return $aDrive[$iLetter]
     Next
     Return -1
EndFunc

$DriveLetter = LocateDrive("MySetup\Setup.exe")

ConsoleWrite($DriveLetter & @CRLF)

; i. e. $DriveLetter = "E:"
