Can anyone identify why the rename process does not work. I am having to use the CMD line to post process .new to .ini...
Code:
  
break on
$SD=%SystemDrive%
$ATTR = GETFILEATTR('$SD + "\boot.ini"')
IF Open(1, $SD + "\boot.ini",2) = 0
 If exist($SD + "\boot.new")
  del '$SD + "\boot.new"' /c /f /h
 endif
 IF Open(2, $SD + "\boot.new",5) = 0
  $IN = readline(1)
  While Not @ERROR
   if left($IN,5) = "multi" and right($IN,3) <> "3gb"
      $array = split($IN,'"',-1)
      $OUT =  WRITELINE (2,$array[0]+'"'+$array[1]+' /3gb"'+$array[2]+' /3gb'+ @CRLF)
      $OUT =  WRITELINE (2,$IN + @CRLF)
   else
       if left($IN,8) = "timeout=" $IN = "timeout=10" endif
      $OUT = WRITELINE (2,$IN + @CRLF)
   endif
   $IN = readline(1)
  loop
  close (2)
 close (1)
  If exist($SD + "\boot-old.ini")
   del '$SD + "\boot-old.ini"' /c /f /h
  endif
  if ($x = SETFILEATTR('$SD + "\boot.ini"',128)) = 0
   move '$SD + "\boot.ini"' '$SD + "\boot-old.ini"' /h /r
   if @error = 0
    move '$SD + "\boot.new"' '$SD + "\boot.ini"' /h /r
    $x = SETFILEATTR('$SD + "\boot.ini"',$ATTR)
   endif
  endif
 endif
endif

Your move statement has quotes in the wrong places:

They should be like this:
Code:
 
   move $SD + "\boot.ini" $SD + "\boot-old.ini" /h /r


When constructing your strings, the $SD + "\boot.ini" become one string of "C:\boot.ini". When you placed the $SD and the "\Boot.ini" inside single quotes, the source string became C:"\boot.ini" , and this generated an illegal file name.

If you belive that your filespec would have spaces in it, you should use something like:
Code:
 
Move '"' + $SD + '\some file with spaces.txt"'

This is interpreted as "C:\some file with spaces.txt"

actually, his move line:
Code:

  move '$SD + "\boot.ini"' '$SD + "\boot-old.ini"' /h /r


becomes:
Code:

  move 'C: + "\boot.ini"' 'C: + "\boot-old.ini"' /h /r

and thus, the final source is not C:"\boot.ini" but: C: + "\boot.ini"

er, right! I'm making up for the lack of caffiene as we speak!

Either way, it's a name that doesn't represent the file he's trying to access.

Thanks all, it was the single quotes. Still takes some getting used to how it parses the line... Final code.
Code:
  
break on
if $ram < 1024
 messagebox("Insufficient System RAM","ABORTED",16,10)
 exit
endif
$SD=%SystemDrive%
IF Open(1, $SD + "\boot.ini",2) = 0
 If exist($SD + "\boot.new")
  del '$SD + "\boot.new"' /c /f /h
 endif
 IF Open(2, $SD + "\boot.new",5) = 0
  $IN = readline(1)
  While Not @ERROR
  if left($IN,5) = "multi" and right($IN,3) = "3gb"
   close (2)
   close (1)
   del $SD + "\boot.new" /c /f /h
   messagebox("ALREADY installed","ABORTED",16,10)
   exit
  else
   if left($IN,5) = "multi" and right($IN,3) <> "3gb"
      $array = split($IN,'"',-1)
      $OUT =  WRITELINE (2,$array[0]+'"'+$array[1]+' /3gb"'+$array[2]+' /3gb'+ @CRLF)
      $OUT =  WRITELINE (2,$IN + @CRLF)
   else
       if left($IN,8) = "timeout=" $IN = "timeout=10" endif
      $OUT = WRITELINE (2,$IN + @CRLF)
   endif
   $IN = readline(1)
  endif
  loop
  close (2)
 close (1)
  If exist($SD + "\boot-old.ini")
   del $SD + "\boot-old.ini" /c /f /h
  endif
   $x = SETFILEATTR($SD + "\boot.ini",128)
   move $SD + "\boot.ini" $SD + "\boot-old.ini" /h /r
   if @error = 0
    move $SD + "\boot.new" $SD + "\boot.ini" /h /r
    $x = SETFILEATTR($SD + "\boot.ini",7)
    $x = SETFILEATTR($SD + "\boot-old.ini",3)
   endif
   ? "=" + $ATTR
   messagebox("INSTALLED","3Gb Switch",64,10)
 endif
endif
