Trying to read volume label on DVD\CD

[Count430]

Hello fellow scripters! can anyone tell me how I can read the label on a CDrom.

I created a windows installer package and now I need to distribute to folks on a slow link.

I set the package up in SMS which only has the command line and a Vbscript wrapper which asks the client to load the CD into the drive.

Once this happens the script checks for the drive and label to insure the correct media is loaded.

My problem is I don't know how to code the functionality where I want the script to read the label on the CD.

I already defined the label name in my declaration block of code. Any example will do to get me going in the right direction.

Thanks....

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objDrive = objFso.GetDrive(objFso.GetDriveName("D:\"))

Wscript.Echo "Label: " & objDrive.VolumeName

you might want to loop through a Drives collection, checking the .DriveType = 1 and then do your .GetDriveName check. that way you wonthave to worry which drive letter the client is using......
