SHP Forums

I have created a custom page for an alternate method of getting the CD-ROM drive letter for the SHP installers. Which method do you prefer?

oooo, drop down method, by a wide margin.

My two cents anyway.

I second the drop down method.

Ditto. Drop down box. Seems somebody has wrongly selected or not selected (3 people chose drop-down, yet only has 2 votes?)

I chose Message Box, mainly because I'm used to it and because I don't have multiple CD-ROM drives, so that method works just fine with me. It's easy and quick.

I voted drop down. Seems easier.

i like the message box because i'm old school like that lol

haha, I didn't realize there was a poll- voted now. We're ahead 5-4!

It seems like the drop down would give you a second chance in case you change your mind..?

How many cd rom drives do you folks have?

Yes, it will. This is one of the main advantages of it. It will not progress until you hit the "Next" button. If no drive is selected, it will use the first drive. If you change your mind and need to choose a different drive but have already clicked the "Next" button, when the installer does not find the disc in the selected drive you can click cancel to go back to the drop list page. With the message box method, it goes through the list of optical drives on the system and stop when it reaches the end. If you miss selecting the right drive, your only option is to cancel the installer and start over.

Of note for those that only have one optical drive, you do not need to select a drive. The drive will already be selected. You will only need to click the next button to advance to the next page of the installer. The old method requires you to click off the popup message box before the installer can continue.

I found a couple of odd bugs with my script that I worked out. It is mostly ready. How many have Torin's Passage?
Let me know if you experience any issues.
