I tought I was having success.
Do you know of a way to add long File Support to my DOS Bootfiles. I was thinking if I add that support I can then have either Lowecase or uppercase letters. So that when I try to run the installer it will read it.
For example if I create an ISO with the WindowsME Upgrade, the Bootfile will run the autoexec file, but In DOS it is not able to read those folders. So when I go to the X: drive, I am unable to open the WinMeUPG folder.
So why is it that for example in My Original Windows ME Upgrade CD there is combination of Uppercase and lower case names and I have no problems running the Windows Me Upgrade Setup.exe files. But when I create and ISO like that I have problems opening the folder or files. I think that is why I could not open and edit the text strings before. mmm!
If I have my Wndows Me OEM version. Cant I use that to fresh install and do Upgrades. You think!
Thanks.

Good thinking… I use WinMe –OEM this way (“clean install” and also to upgrade Win9x).
You don’t need WinMe-upgrade. In this way you avoid every problem you have mentioned, witch seems to be a “golden way” out of your problems with truncated files and that stuff…
I still haven’t figured out why you getting truncated names (and only when installing WinMe-upgrade). That’s what I call weird! Anyway, you are on the right track using WinMe-OEM to both “clean install” as to upgrade from Win9x. And as bonus, you create more space to something else!
I don’t think lfndos is to any help in this case.

I had to optimize the files in order to fit a 80min CD. Original File size was 1Gig plus. When I optimized it. It came down to 709MB. But It might be the problem. So im trying to trim it down to use the DOS programs I have and Win95, WinSe, and WinME, and ERD 2005. I dont want to use Optimized.
I have a question reguarding DOS. Hope you know how to do what im hoping can be done. I tried going to the pages you mentioned before on dos commands but I cannot find an example to do what i need.
I want to copy files from the D drive to the c: drive subdirectory
Most of it works. I think im having problems at the end
where I need to copy the files from the DeskProp Folder from the CD rom to the c:win98\DeskProp
I cant figure out how to do it. Here is my attempt.
| Code Sample | @echo off
MSCDEX /D:BANANA /L:X
PATH=a:\;a:\dos;x:\
c:
mkdir Min98
cd Min98
mkdir DeskProp
x:
cd Win98SE
xcopy *.* c:\Min98
x:
cd Mindows
xcopy *.* c:\Min98
x:
cd Mindows
cd DeskProp
xcopy *.* c:\Win98\DeskProp <--- I tried this one and it didnt work.
or
xcopy *.* path=c:\Min98\DeskProp <--- I tried this one and it didnt work either.
c:
cd Min98
Install.bat |

Quote from your autoexec.bat-file:
@echo off
MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /L:X
PATH=a:\;a:\dos;x:\
c:
mkdir Min98 < This is correct (creating folder Min98 on [C:])
cd Min98
mkdir DeskProp < This is correct (creating subfolder DeskProp in Min98)
a:
(copy command of some kind. Examples down here)
(your final command “install.bat” when all copy commands been executed as wanted)
--------------
I give you some examples. I use “ezboot” folder with subfolder “image”.
Attention: I didn’t manage to get switch [/H] (hided files and folders) to work with xcopy. I assume that xcopy cannot copy hided files and folders (at least not with that version I tested). Files and folders must be visible! So I didn’t set option: “Hide boot folder” or “Hide all files in bootfolder” when creating ISO in EasyBoot!!!
Note: DOS doesn’t care about uppercase (CAPS) or not!
--------------
Example 1.
a:\xcopy x:\ezboot\image\*.* c:\min98\deskprop\ /E < This copy every file (and subfolder) from folder “image” to folder deskprop on [C:].
Note: It doesn’t copy anything from folder “ezboot”.
Attention to switch [/E]
Result is this: c:\min98\deskprop\*.* (files and subfolders copied)
Example 2.
a:\xcopy x:\ezboot\image c:\min98\deskprop <This only copies files from folder “image” to c:\min98\deskprop
Result is this: c:\min98\deskprop\*.* (only files no subfolders copied)
Example 3.
a:\xcopy x:\ezboot\image c:\min98 <This copy files from folder “image” to C:\min98
Result is this: c:\min98\*.* (only files and no subfolder copied)
Example 4.
a:\xcopy x:\ezboot c:\min98 <This copy files from folder “ezboot” to c:\min98 (no subfolders copied).Result is this: C:\min98\*.* (only files and no subfolders copied).
Example 5.
a:\xcopy x:\ezboot\*.* c:\min98 /E <This copy files and subfolders from “ezboot” to c:\min98 Note: switch [/E]
Result is this: c:\min98\*.* (files and subfolders copied).

Thanks! I will try out some of your examples. 
I had gone to that site you mention but their not good at showing good examples. They are lacking in that. They describe things ok. But sometimes its confusing.
Your examples clear things out. I have a better understanding.

This seems to work.

This line you mentioned did not work

Still have to test some more.

Update:
I created the ISO. It came out to be around 675 MB.
I had to use Easy boot to create the Small ISO with the Easyboot Folder and the DOS Images.
I had to use Magic ISO to drag the contents of the ERD Commander 2005, Win95 - 98Se - ME.
Otherwise, If I used Ultra ISO, Whenever I ran the ERD 2005 It would give me an error when looking for the Network stuff. Plus Magic ISO explains what options should be selected when Creating an ISO to be used in DOS, Win, and others.
I just got a laptop that I could test the installations on. An old one. But just right for the testing.
I was successful in installing Windows 95.
Then I tried Installing Windows 98Se.
I just need to test installing Windows ME.
Something is wrong with my VMware virtual machine. 
It seemed to work Well in MS Virtual PC.
