Hi,

Have you read through this doc?

The link worked when I just clicked on it. You can also search "5CJFIUGL" from NI.com. This is the document ID.

i have read through that documnet and it still wont work. here is the code i am using

cd T:\virtual_dvd_location setup /generatespecfile k:\labview_specfile.txt

I don't see anything wrong with your syntax. The only thing that I can think of is that there may be a hiccup in trying to reference files on a virtual optical drive. You can determine if this is the issue by moving the files to the c: drive and trying this process again.
