Use the erdroot program from Sherpya. Its part of the erd2002 commander plugin:

I tried you suggestion but with no luck.Sherpya ErdRoot wants to start but suddenly stop.I verified that erdroot is in the location that i set in inf.Here is my inf used
CODE
<-ItemBegin->
    ShowInAutorun=YES
    EnableInAutorun=YES
    ParentItem=Erd Commander
    Caption=Set ERD Target Root
    ExeName=%windir%\System32\ERDROOT.exe
    IconNumber=24

TheTruth made a program called ERDLogon
http://www.geocities.com/pierremounir/
With it you can pass the %target_root% environment value to the target program.
CODE
<-ItemBegin->
ShowInAutorun=YES
EnableInAutorun=YES
ParentItem=Erd Commander
Caption=RegEdit
ExeName=%windir%\System32\ERDLogon.exe
IconNumber=24
CmdParam=%SystemDrive%\Programs\erdcmd2003\regedit.exe
ExeDir=%windir%\System32\
<-ItemEnd->

I can't say where you need to point the ExeDir to for sure. unsure.gif

ERDroot.exe works just fine but I believe you are using it incorrectly.

The target Windows root is %windir% or C:\WINDOWS,

not %windir%\system32.

If you do use %windir% in PE the resultant target would be X:\i386 on the CD and you will not attach to your intended target system installed on the hard-drive.

Seems an odd place for it.

I'm using ERDRoot.exe, and not ERDLogon.exe.

Why not simply place it into %systemdrive%\Programs\erd2002 as most folks do?

How does ERDLogon.exe differ from ERDRoot.exe?

CmdParam=?

I am a little confuse: erdroot or erdlogon are in system32 folder.So how do i set the path exactly?
%windir%\erdlogon
or
%windir%\system32\erdlogon
or
%windir%\i386\system32\erdlogon

and the exe dir should be
%windir%\
or
%windir%\system32
or
%windir%\i386\system32

?

It seems to me that you should be using ERDLogon.exe which is located on the path of %windir%\system32 (x:\i386).

But it must also hook into your existing target "system" at C:\Windows.

hence, %windir%\system32\erdlogon.exe {params=} c:\windows

CmdParam= [must be manually executed via a startmenu shortcut once manually attached to the target "system" installation AFAIK]

I'm not sure because I'm not familiar with this type of .inf structure.

ERDLogon automatically mounts the "C:\WINDOWS" system to execute an ERD resource targeting that system installation.

ERDRoot must be manually pointed to the same location by browsing a folder tree to it or any other location, say, on another hard-drive.

ERDLogon has one specific fixed target path.

ERDRoot's target path is configurable, so it can be used on dual-boot systems with parallel system installations.

ERDLogon provides a browse dialog for the %target_root% before executing the desired program.

ERDRoot sets the system environment value for %target_root%

Er, I believe you may have your explanation reversed,

ERDROOT:



ERDLOGON:

Actually, it is CMD.EXE (SET) that is used for setting the environment variable that you mention.

From the nu2menu above:
QUOTE
CMD="RUN" FUNC="@SetEnvVar('target_root'
QUOTE
SET /?

Displays, sets, or removes cmd.exe environment variables.

SET [variable=[string]]

  variable  Specifies the environment-variable name.
  string    Specifies a series of characters to assign to the variable.

Type SET without parameters to display the current environment variables.

I'm in hurricane ravaged south Florida, so I keep losing my ADSL connection mid-post.

@google - You can autorun the SET variable command and then use your nu2menu shortcuts normally.

ERDROOT & ERDLOGON are not autorun friendly for mounting the target system.

If you run erdlogon with a program as a parameter you'll see a dialog much like erdroot's.

I now see that you are correct about ERDLogon.

I'll need to get more familiar with ERDLogon.exe

Both utilities are very similar.
