I need your help, I'm building small installation batch file for my small application (My app.exe must be copied in different places of windows version and architecture).
I played with it, but can't solve the given task...
I created this code: (For testing purposes)
If Exist "C:\Users\All Users\ntuser.dat" Goto Win 7
If Exist "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ntuser.dat" Goto Win XP
:Win 7
C:\w7\test.txt
:Win XP
C:\wxp\test.txt
But when executing the batch file (from windows xp) both jobs are done (Both files are opened)... why I can't understand... as I know it must open only win xp section code
Please how to modify the code, give me an example..
My Mission is:
I want that my app.exe file copied in different locations of different windows versions and builds (WinXP - X86-X64, Win7 - X86-X64)
If it is windows 7x64 x86 or win xp-x86,x64 it must only use the code which is set for the given system and not other
Thank You In Advanced
try this:
If Exist "C:\Users\All Users\ntuser.dat" Goto Win_7
If Exist "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ntuser.dat" Goto Win_XP
:Win_7
C:\w7\test.txt
goto:eof
:Win_XP
C:\wxp\test.txt
goto:eof
You need to tell it to stop running when it reaches the end of that section, or it will keep going into the next one. (Spaces in the branch labels aren't really a good idea either, although they're allowed. Why use them, when the user will never see them?)
If Exist "C:\Users\All Users\ntuser.dat" Goto Win7
If Exist "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ntuser.dat" Goto WinXP
:Win7
C:\w7\test.txt
goto :eof
:WinXP
C:\wxp\test.txt
goto :eof
:eof is a pre-defined branch label that means end of file. More info in the goto documentation

I have some issue in a driver & I have to troubleshoot it, before that I need to build it. I have no experience in driver.
I have the source code & bat file. It might be using WDK 7(I'm not sure)
Can anyone guide me in building the driver project with below bat file.
Ofcourse I can understand bat file is setting environment variables & calling build.exe
My main questions are:
1. Which WDK i need to install, so that I can specify its path in bat file
2. How to run bat file, do i need to run in visual studio command prompt or how?
if you give some Some general idea on building a driver for a beginner that would be much appreciated. Thanks.
[if you need any info, which i can provide please feel free to ask]

If you want to build a driver for Windows 7 or newer use Visual Studio 2015 which is integrated with the lastest WDK 10. Building drivers is way easier this way.
If you want to build drivers for Windows XP then you will have to use WDK 7 and use a scripts similar like yours. Wdk 7 has no integration with visual studio. You have to specify source file in a special file called sources. See example drivers from Wdk 7. You can find a good cmd for building such drivers https://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?article=43 This website has the best driver dev tips
If you do not need XP support I highly recommend you go the much much easier way using Visual Studio 2015, windows sdk and windows 10 wdk.
LE:
You can also use Visual Studio 2013 which supports integration with WDK 8 and WDK 8.1 but not with WDK 10.
From your .bat file, it has:
if NOT "%DDK64%"=="" goto x1
set DDK64=D:\Tools\WinDDK\6000
rem set DDK64=C:\WinDDK\6001.18001
:x1
So, it might be looking for that version. If so, here is a page: What is the Microsoft name for WinDDK version 6001.18001?
Also, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Driver_Kit Your .bat wants, by default, build 6000 (released: november 29, 2006 for Windows Vista)
You could also try to use the latest one. Here's the link for WDK 10 with download instructions. WDK 7 should be similar: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff557573%28v=vs.85%29.aspx so find the right page. This page also has links to other pages that may help answer your other questions.
In any case, you'll need to modify the .bat to point to the correct WinDDK directory by setting the DDK64 variable to point to it.
You can probably install multiple different versions to different directories, but my guess is that the latest will let you build backward compatible versions. So, if you're building for Win7 (e.g.), get the latest DDK for Win7 (see the table in the wiki page).
I need start all folders in a the Windows "Start/Programs/Startup folder" of an XP machine, explorer is disabled to stop top people playing and remove the Start and Task-bar.
I can run a batch file at start-up but how do I write the batch to run ALL programs in the "Start/Programs/Startup folder" the programs in the folder may change but the batch needs to remain the same
I am able to open each file individually using the below code but I really need to be able to open everything in the folder to avoid problems in the future
start "" /b "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\PROG.appref-ms"
I have tried the code below, that batch starts but nothing starts
%DIR%=C:\Documents and Settings\Pete\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
for %%a in (%DIR%\*) do "%%a"
Running the batch from the desktop also doesn't run the programs in the start folder, the DIR address is taken from windows explorer when I navigated to the folder with the short cuts in
This is an interesting request--one that I would question the motive behind, but since you asked, here's a way you could accomplish it:
#echo off
set DIR=C:\Your\Directory
for %%a in ("%DIR%\*") do "%%a"
Some of our computers run multiple versions of Microsoft Access (97 & 2010) while others run 365. For the pcs running multiple versions, the default is set to 97. I have a batch file that is performing various tests to see if files exist, and finished by running an Access 2010 database called MWO.accdb. See below.
if exist c:\windows\system32\mscomct2.ocx goto step2
rem copy mscomct2 and register
cscript \\file\apps\Database\Maintenance\365\MsgBox.vbs "Preparing necessary libraries."
copy "\\file\apps\Database\Maintenance\365\mscomct2.ocx" "c:\windows\system32\"
regsvr32 /u mscomct2.ocx
regsvr32 /i mscomct2.ocx
:step2
if exist "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\MWO.lnk" goto step3
rem create shortcut on user's desktop for future use
cscript \\file\apps\Database\Maintenance\365\MsgBox.vbs "Creating shortcut on desktop & adding to start menu."
copy "\\file\apps\Database\Maintenance\MWO-INSTALL.lnk" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\MWO.lnk"
mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Maintenance"
copy "\\file\apps\Database\Maintenance\MWO-INSTALL.lnk" "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Maintenance\MWO.lnk"
:step3
\\file\apps\Database\Maintenance\365\MWO.accdb
Is there an easy way to test for the latest version of access, and force the file to open with it to avoid the defaulting to 97 problem?
wmic product where caption="Access" get caption,version

I am writing a batch script to use USMT to update computers from XP to 7. Because USMT has a scanstate component that needs to be run before the OS upgrade and a loadstate computer that has to be run after the OS upgrade I am trying to use an if statement to check what the operating system is and then run the proper commands. I am new to batch files but from everything I have been reading it seems like I am writing it properly but I am obviously messing up somewhere. I am getting a "Windows is unexpected at this time error." I also know that the variables are being set properly because of the pause commands that I included. I also tried using IF %WINVERSION% == %XP% goto XPTRUE/WIN7TRUE and enclosing everything within the brackets under a :XPTRUE/WIN7TRUE but that gives the same error.

When I run this on my Windows 7 computer I get this:
I get the same output on my XP computer except it tells me the current version is xp instead. Help would be greatly appreciated.
The line below:
FOR /f "delims=" %%A IN ('ver') DO #SET WINVERSION=%%A
stores in WINVERSION variable a string that contain several words separated by spaces, for example:
SET WINVERSION=Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200]
This way, the line below:
IF %WINVERSION% == %XP% (
is expanded to:
IF Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200] == Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (
that, of course, cause a syntax error! Type: IF /? for further details.
The way to compare two strings that may contains spaces, is enclosing they in quotes:
IF "%WINVERSION%" == "%XP%" (
When you right click on a .inf file you have an option to "Install". I want to install a .inf file from the command line using a batch file. What is the "right" way to do this?
Thanks!
[edit]
I should clarify that I am trying to run this on Windows XP (and not Vista). Though I appriciate (and up-voted) the below answer mentioning InfDefaultInstall.exe, I believe that program was not shipped with XP.
You can find the command when looking at the HKCR\inffile\shell\Install\command registry key. On Windows XP this is
%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %1
on Windows Vista and later this would be
%SystemRoot%\System32\InfDefaultInstall.exe "%1"
To use the batch file across several Windows versions you would need some trickery. You could use reg.exe to query for the key and try parsing the output (I didn't find a quick way of getting only the value from reg). If you know what platforms you're running on you could also hard-code the command lines and switch according to the Windows version (which would need another hack to find that out. %OS% doesn't tell you more than "Windows NT", unfortunately.).
rem tested/works
:inf
ver | findstr /il "Version 6." > nul
if %ERRORLEVEL%==0 goto :vista
:xp
start/wait rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 4 %_%
goto :eof
:vista
%SystemRoot%\System32\InfDefaultInstall.exe "%_%"
:eof
Should works on any Windows system that has IE 4.0+:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection <file.inf>,DefaultInstall
