I found the cdburn.exe in the Windows Resource Kits and trying to make it so can pick drive for the burner and the iso file to burn .
But it is not working ?
Get a quick dos box and thats it .

Example 1: Burn a CD From an Image File When a Drive Letter is Assigned to the CD Burner
Type the following at the command line:

cdburn.exe d: c:\dotnet_usa_3678.IDS_x86fre_srv.iso

More for the help file in the exe
Usage:
cdburn <drive> -erase [image [options]]
cdburn <drive> image [options]
Options:
-erase Erases the disk before burning (valid for R/W only)
-sao Writes the image out in "session at once", or cue
sheet, mode (default is "track at once")
-speed Speed of burn, or 'max' for maximum speed
-imagehaspostgap Use if your image already contains a 150 sector postgap
The [image] must be provided unless the -erase flag is set.
If both an image and -erase are provided, the media will be
erased prior to burning the image to the disc.

Running a Dos program is best with

Didn't work .

Your use of the Run command might need some revision. The parameters seem out of order and the use of /C and -max don't seem to fit. Also, some double quotes might be a good idea around the filename if it ever contains spaces. Here is an example that should be closer:

Filename = c:\dotnet_usa_3678.IDS_x86fre_srv.iso
Run, cdburn.exe d: "%Filename%"

If you want to specify a working directory and try to maximize the launched app, try:
WorkingDir = C:\My Documents
Run, cdburn.exe d: "%Filename%", %WorkingDir%, Max

If that doesn't work, you might try comspec with nested quotes:
Run, %comspec% /c "cdburn.exe d: "%Filename%"", %WorkingDir%, Max

You mean like this ?
FileSelectFile, SelectedFile, 3, , Open a file, iso Documents (*.iso; *.doc)
if SelectedFile =
MsgBox, The user didn't select anything.
else
MsgBox, The user selected the following:`n%SelectedFile%
FileSelectFolder, OutputVar, , 3
if OutputVar =
MsgBox, You didn't select a folder.
else
MsgBox, You selected folder "%OutputVar%".
run, %COMSPEC% /c "cdburn.exe", "%OutputVar%", "%SelectedFile%",Max

That didn't work .
I need to select/browse CDburner (drive) and select/browse the iso fike .

You may have to clean up the resulting text a bit more. The \ character needs to be removed from the drive letter and the commas need to be removed from the command line (except the last one). The quotes probably only need to be around the .iso file (unless you use the full path to cdburn.exe and it contains spaces) You're script seems to be returning:
Instead of:

If you wanted to try a different program you could try CDRecord instead. There are a few windows ports available here and there (... ).

hello guest,
-try with msgbox first to see the correct command and path

So far the last two post are trying to do a run with the path hard coded in that I can do with a bat file . I want to be able to pick the cdburner drive letter with the browse and the came with the iso in some folder on the drive .

I'm not suggesting that you hard code the paths, I'm pointing out that you are not correctly processing the input and probably are not getting things running due to syntax errors . The first line I posted was the output your script is producing the second line is what it probably should be producing...

I guess you'll need the path to the cdburner.exe, "hardcoded", if it isn't specified in your global 'path' system variable (type 'path' at the prompt).

- check if the path to the cdburner.exe is correct (is it at: C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\cdburn.exe ?)

if it is, try removing the quotes from the last line of code (replace with the following code):
