I have to trouble everyone again, thank you first!!
My original intention was to automatically enter the win98se directory in the CD (just under the root directory of the CD) through autoexec.bat and config.sys, execute setup.exe, to install Windows 98, but I don't know where the mistake is, that is, I can't enter the CD drive!!
The content of my autoexec.bat is:
@ECHO OFF
set EXPAND=YES
SET DIRCMD=/O:N
cls
set temp=c:\
set tmp=c:\
path=a:\
IF "%config%"=="NOCD" GOTO QUIT
LH MSCDEX.EXE /Demcd001 /L

echo.
IF "%config%"=="SETUP_CD" goto AUTOSETUP
GOTO QUIT

:AUTOSETUP
set CDROM=FOO23
FINDCD.EXE
if "%CDROM%"=="FOO23" goto NOCDROM
path=a:\;%CDROM%\
%CDROM%
cd \WIN98
echo.
OEMSETUP.EXE /K "/IE /NF"
goto QUIT

:NOCDROM
echo.
echo The Windows 98 Setup files were not found.
echo.

:QUIT

The content of my config.sys is:

menuitem=SETUP_CD, Start Windows 98 Setup from CD-ROM.
menuitem=CD, Start computer with CD-ROM support.
menuitem=NOCD, Start computer without CD-ROM support.
menudefault=SETUP_CD,30
menucolor=7,0


device=himem.sys /testmemff
device=oakcdrom.sys /Demcd001
device=btdosm.sys
device=flashpt.sys
device=btcdrom.sys /Demcd001
device=aspi2dos.sys
device=aspi8dos.sys
device=aspi4dos.sys
device=aspi8u2.sys
device=aspicd.sys /Demcd001


device=himem.sys /testmemff
device=oakcdrom.sys /Demcd001
device=btdosm.sys
device=flashpt.sys
device=btcdrom.sys /Demcd001
device=aspi2dos.sys
device=aspi8dos.sys
device=aspi4dos.sys
device=aspi8u2.sys
device=aspicd.sys /Demcd001


device=himem.sys /testmemff


files=60
buffers=20
dos=high,umb
stacks=9,256
lastdrive=z

Maybe this is very simple for you, but I really thank you if you can help me!!

It is strongly recommended to reorganize the CONFIG.SYS file, replacing those bulky things (like OAKCDROM.SYS) with smaller, newer and more practical programs (such as VIDE-CDD.SYS).

Here
LH MSCDEX.EXE /Demcd001 /L Remove the /L part. The /L parameter specifies the drive letter of the CD - ROM.

Strongly recommend considering us newcomers when answering questions. After putting forward suggestions, please also answer the questions, so that the poster can get the answer and can consider better suggestions.....

Although this is a bit difficult, it can help a newcomer grow. Don't you think so, Wengier?

I removed it, but it still doesn't work!

Actually, your batch processing doesn't need to be this complicated. Do you choose to load the CD and then install automatically or install automatically from the start?

First load the CD, then install automatically!

Try this way
LH MSCDEX.EXE /Demcd001 /L:%cdrom%

%cdrom%:\win98\OEMSETUP.EXE drive letter:\***.INF /is

The drive letter:\***.INF is the location of the answer file, and is skips the disk check.

Try it this way

The drive letter:\***.INF is the location of the answer file, and is to skip the disk check.

What does the term "answer file" mean? Does "drive letter" refer to the directory of the installation file?

Automated installation requires an answer file! You can go online to check articles about automated installation...
Or you can place the automated answer file in the installation directory and run setup to perform automated installation, but then manual installation won't be possible.

Oh, I don't need this automatic installation answer file yet! I just need to enter the win98se directory in the CD and run setup.exe, and then install manually later!!

I changed the batch file as you said, but still can't enter the CD drive!!

Finally, it shows:
MSCDEX Version 2.25
Copyright (c)Microsoft Corp. 1986-1995. All rights reserved.
Drive E:=Driver MSCS001 unit 0 (I changed LH MSCDEX.EXE /Demcd001 to LH MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:%cdrom%)
Invalid directory

Bad command or file name
a:\>

????

Answer files provide a script that can generate detailed installation information by itself (including custom installation components, user information, serial numbers, etc.). In short, it aggregates all the things you need to choose during the manual installation process and generates a text file. Then the installation program realizes fully automatic installation according to the description of the answer file, and you don't need to pay attention to it anymore.

My boot disk has automatic installation answer files for various operating systems such as WIN98SE, WINNT, WIN2000PRO, WIN2000SVR, WIN2000ADV, WINXPPRO. You can copy them in. The one for 98 is MSBATCH.INFhttp://www2.zzu.edu.cn/ie/newdos/dispbbs.asp?boardID=11&ID=4298
