We had a major storm through here recently and we suffered damage to the house roof and ceilings. I just received the quote to repair. I’m hoping that a small fraction of the 80,000 odd people that download SDIO and/or Desktop Info every month won’t mind chipping in a few dollars to help out. Click on the big blue button at the bottom of the page to help us keep a roof over our heads, literally!

We have policies in place that block unknown exes from running in appdata. Is it possible to specify a different directory using remote.bat and install.txt?

###
rem simple batch file to run the install over a network
rem change the network path to your server
@echo off
net use u: \serverSDI
u:
cd
SDIO_x64_R732.exe -script:scriptsinstall.txt
c:
net use u: /delete

Remind me again what it uses appdata for?

That's the path that it extracts the drivers to locally

echo Installing missing and better drivers...
Select: filter:34, drpfilter:0
3 drivers selected
extractdir='C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalTempSDIO'

That's a weird policy not allowing apps to use appdata.

You can add the following switch to the command line as per the manual:

-extractdir:<dir>
