I want to create a "mini virtual environment" to run a program. The only difference between my normal environment and the virtual one would be the drive mappings.
- I have an
X:drive mapped to\\some\network\location - I have a program
myapp.exethat expects theX:drive to be mapped toC:\local\path - I need to keep my
X:drive mapped to\\some\network\locationthroughout the process
I would like to be able to run the following batch file and not have it affect the current environment:
subst X: C:\local\path
myapp.exe
