Mark, my experience of this error is nothing to do with WPKG or the setup.exe but the particular installations of windows that have the error. It will be about a drive or card reader that is occupying the letter that you have installed another application from which uses a similar installation mechanism. This mostly happens from using ghost and sysprep to setup workstations. To overcome this I have a vanilla installation of XP which I install the wpkg service right before I sysprep it. I then ghost image it. All my new machines are setup with this image unique UIDs and I prioritise the packages that wpkg installs with any problematic ones first. I cant remember what software it was now that caused my first "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk" but basically it would happen on systems that had different/extra drives to the system I created my image XP on. Paul
----------------------- [wpkg-users] no disk in the drive From: Mark Nienberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2007-10-17 21:59 I have a package that runs a setup.exe file, which in turn runs some msi installers. The setup program works fine from a regular logged-on admin account, but when run from wpkg at boot, some workstations pop up several error dialog boxes with "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk." These error dialog boxes pop up while the logon is being delayed with the standard wpkg alternating progress boxes. I can manually click on the cancel button in the dialog boxes and they will be dismissed and allow the script to complete. It doesn't happen on every workstation. The program being installed is Autodesk Revit Structural. Autodesk has apparently written their own installer. It is not one of the well known standards like installshield, etc. The program requires frequent updating so I'd like to work this out. Any ideas appreciated.
