Extract path

[npkce]

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: \\server\SDI
u:
cd \
SDIO_x64_R732.exe -script:scripts\install.txt
c:
net use u: /delete

Thanks for your work on a great piece of software!

Remind me again what it uses appdata for?

[npkce]

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:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\SDIO’

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>
