Solve : Can't install from path set in a variable. Must be wherever batch file is?

Answer»

I am creating an automated, silent installer for all of my programs. This installer will be executed before Windows DESKTOP loads (setupcomplete.cmd)

I need to know how to specify the drive letter from which I am INSTALLING dynamically (such that it does not have to be hard-coded, e.g, e:\) The variable I'm using is not working reliably (where sometimes the path is not where the batch file is located). Any ideas?

This is what I have:

set mypath=%~dp0

start /wait %mypath%\7zip.msi /q installdir="C:\Program Files\7-Zip"

Regards,

JuanThee is a problem.
Why do you want to hide what your are doing? That would SUGGEST that you bare trying to hack somebody's PC.

Users need to know when a system has been modified or updated. Why should you have the privilege of an exception?

What I am saying is Don't use setupcomplete.cmd for a batch TASK. Unless it is the best way n to do a job.

Add a Custom Script to Windows
SETUP
