Now that I think about it, if you want this pure AutoIt:

DriveGetDrive() in the Beta Help file

$var = DriveGetDrive( "CDROM" )
If NOT @error Then
    MsgBox(4096,"", "Found " & $var[0] & " drives")
    For $i = 1 to $var[0]
        MsgBox(4096,"Drive " & $i, $var[$i])
    Next
EndIf

$var = DriveGetDrive( "CDROM" )

If NOT @error Then

MsgBox(4096,"", "Found " & $var[0] & " drives")

For $i = 1 to $var[0]

MsgBox(4096,"Drive " & $i, $var[1])

Next

EndIf

Run("$var[1]\software\office\setup")

but it can't work .

$var = DriveGetDrive( "CDROM" )

If NOT @error Then

MsgBox(4096,"", "Found " & $var[0] & " drives")

For $i = 1 to $var[0]

MsgBox(4096,"Drive " & $i, $var[1])

Next

EndIf

Run("$var[1]\software\office\setup")

but it can't work .

Hmm, is that a setup.exe?

I have never played with it before but I suppose you could try this.

$var = DriveGetDrive( "CDROM" )
If NOT @error Then
    $OptRun = Opt('RunErrorsFatal', 0)
    If $var[0] = 1 Then 
        Run('"' & $var[1] & '\software\office\setup.exe' & '"')
    Else
        For $i = 1 to $var[0]
            Run('"' & $var[$i] & '\software\office\setup.exe' & '"')
            If @error = 1 Then ExitLoop
        Next
    EndIf
    Opt('RunErrorsFatal', $OptRun)
EndIf

Sometimes you have to surround in quotes for a call like that. Might also want to look at Filename under Run in the help file to see what kind of files you can use with it.

If executing the script from the CDRom, then a path using @ScriptDir should be enough.

I install from Cmdlines.txt with a script in the same directory that installs software from a subdirectory, and I use

@ScriptDir & '\Software\setup.exe'

to install.
