Re: setup WDSC 7 on network drive for install.

Thanks, it does seem to be working. I guess I was looking for an actual CD 
label, Guess I made it too complicated. This way I don't have to hang 
around and change CD's like I did for my PC. 
I'll look into the packaging utility.

Bob, when I did it here, I had a WDSCi Installation folder, which 
contained /Disk1, /Disk2, and so forth.  Each folder contained the copied 
contents of the named installation CD.  The installer is smart enough to 
see the folders and chenge between them without intervention.

I later installed the IBM packaging utility (on one of the auxillary CD 
that came in the package) and created my own repository.  With this, I can 
download fixpacks from IBM and apply them to the repository, so that I 
only install the most current approved releases.

Trying again. I found one post that made it sound like disc 2 should be a 
subfolder of disc one, and so on. I just had them all in the same folder.

Has anyone added the extra languages? A few of our developers and 
multilingual and I was wondering if this might be of interest to them, or 
helpful in programming.

[WDSCI-L] setup WDSC 7 on network drive for install.






I know this was discussed a while back, and I'm still searching the 
archives, but how do I copy the disks to a network drive so it stops 
prompting for the next disc? My PC is updated but there are 5, or 6 if I 
can convince my boss to try it, that still need loaded. Copying the cdis 
easy... copy-paste, but I know the names have to be correct for the 
install program to find the discs.
