How to automate the ISO image burning process. Automation of working with CD/DVD-ROM ISO files?

Syntax:

ActiveISO.EXE [/ISO-FILE][/CREATE-ISO][/IMPORT][/ERASE][/TITLE][/EXTRACT-ISO][/BURN-ISO][/EXIT-IF-OK][/SHUTDOWN][/BURNER]

The software accepts the following command line parameters to automate ISO image burning process:

/ISO-FILE="full path"
A full path to the ISO image file to be burned/extracted or created.

/BURN-ISO=[0-9]
Burn opened or created ISO image to a burner numbered 0 to 9 (if several burners installed). ISO must be opened or created first (/ISO-FILE or /CREATE-ISO must be specified)

/EXTRACT-ISO="full path"
A full path to a folder where ISO content will be extracted. ISO must be opened first (/ISO-FILE must be specified)

/CREATE-ISO="full path"
A full path for ISO image file to be created (and burned, if needed)

/IMPORT="full folder path"
A full path to a folder to be added to a newly created ISO image (/CREATE-ISO must be specified). All folder's files and subfolders will be added recursively.

/ERASE
The parameter tells burner to erase Read/Write (RW) media before burning ISO image

/TITLE="label"
The parameter specifies a disc label for ISO being saved or burned

/EXIT-IF-OK
If command is successfully completed, program auto-exits. If errors detected - you will see error messages (no auto-exit)

/SHUTDOWN
Turn off the personal computer after command is complete

/BURNER=[1,2…]
Specifies target burner to use. One is first detected (displayed in combo box)

Note that only one command can be executed per run. Stored parameters (Extract/Source folders, file system, boot options, etc..) will be loaded and used for the command execution.

  • Parameters /ISO-FILE and /CREATE-ISO cannot be combined
  • Parameters /ISO-FILE and /IMPORT cannot be combined
  • Parameters /CREATE-FILE and /EXTRACT-ISO cannot be combined
  • Parameters /CREATE-FILE and /IMPORT must be used together

Examples: To burn the ISO image file [C:\Program Files\FreeDOS\fdbasecd.iso] automatically from the command line and exit the program after successful burning, run:

C:\ActiveISO>ActiveISO.exe /ISO-FILE="C:\Program Files\FreeDOS\fdbasecd.ISO"/BURN-ISO=0/EXIT-IF-OK

To burn Files and Folders directly (by-passing ISO file) automatically from the command line, run:

C:\ActiveISO>ActiveISO.exe /CREATE-ISO="c:\my images\image01.iso /IMPORT="c:\my files to burn" /BURN-ISO=0
