This is a valid pathspec:

m:/

When you are not using graft-points, a pathspec is for your purposed
equivalent to a file or directory name.

> OK, what is a graft-point?

graft points are a way of making the location of files and directory on
the ISO differ from the what they are on the source. Here's a sample from
one my my path-list files:

btm/=c:/BTM
bin/=c:/BIN
bin2/=d:/bin2
brief/=c:/brief
brief/bin/b.exe=c:/bin/b.exe
brief/bin/cb.exe=c:/bin/cb.exe
brief/bin/cm.exe=c:/bin/cm.exe
cdrecord/=d:/MMedia/CDRecord

The left side the the location on CD. The right side is the source
location.

> A file name is an environment variable?

No. You enclosed your ISO file name in %'s for some reason. In my
original sample %ISOFILE% is really an environment variable that gets set
to the ISO file name. This allows me to use the same commands for
different ISOs.

> I was trying to add a path and log file name to the

I didn't see a path at the end of the command line, so I added one based
on your description. I dropped the redirection for the log files to avoid
the clutter. You already know how to do this.

HTH,

Steven
