Hi guys,

I really need some help on this ASAP - many thanks!

Why does this not work?

Copy @LDRIVE+"\ClaimFLO.exe*.*" "C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\*.*"

When I execute the script it just ignores this part. I need to use @LDrive as the files are pulled from the PDC, BDC's and not from one location.

Ok here's how it should be!

Copy @LSERVER+"\Netlogon\ClaimFLO\ClaimFLO.exe*.*" "C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\*.*"

However, I am trying to check the file version so it does not pull the file from the PDC, BDC's everytime. I am currently using this bit of code, however, the Kix script just ignores it. Can anyone advise?

If $claimver < "1.3.18.0"
GoSub "install"
Else
:end

How about changing this:

Code:

Copy @LDRIVE+"\ClaimFLO.exe*.*" "C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\*.*"


To this:
Code:

Copy @LDRIVE+"\ClaimFLO.exe" "C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\"

Code:

Copy @LDRIVE+"\ClaimFLO.exe" "C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\"

$claimver = GetFileVersion ("the path and filename to check", "the field to check")
Select
	Case $claimver < "1.3.18.0"
		"install stuff"
	Case $claimver = "1.3.18.0"
		"do nothing"
	Case $claimver > "1.3.18.0"
		"do nothing"
EndSelect

This is what I have so far, copying the files is fine it just ignores the verify file version part. It copies the file everytime no matter what file version it is.

Many thanks for your help!

;Variables

$claimver=GetFileVersion("C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\ClaimFLO.exe", "1.3.18.0")

;***************************************

;Determines If the version of ClaimFLO is lower than the current version, will skip install if ok

Select
Case $claimver < "1.3.18.0"
"install"
Case $claimver = "1.3.18.0"
"end"
Case $claimver > "1.3.18.0"
"end"
EndSelect

;***************************************

:install
"Checking installed version of ClaimFLO - please wait"
?
?"Installed version - "GetFileVersion ("C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\ClaimFLO.exe","FileVersion")

Copy @LSERVER+"\Netlogon\ClaimFLO\ClaimFLO.exe*.*" "C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\*.*"
Copy @LSERVER+"\Netlogon\ClaimFLO\Icons.ibf*.*" "C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\*.*"

This is wrong:
$claimver=GetFileVersion("C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\ClaimFLO.exe", "1.3.18.0")

Don't put the *actual* file version as a parm.

Nukes,

Cleaned up your code a bit.
This should work. Can't test it cause I don't have the same confuguration as you do.
Code:

;Variables

$claimver=GetFileVersion ("C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\ClaimFLO.exe","FileVersion")

;***************************************

;Determines If the version of ClaimFLO is lower than the current version, will skip install if ok

Select
	Case $claimver < "1.3.18.0"
		Copy @LSERVER+"\Netlogon\ClaimFLO\ClaimFLO.exe" "C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\"
		Copy @LSERVER+"\Netlogon\ClaimFLO\Icons.ibf" "C:\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\"
	Case $claimver = "1.3.18.0"
		?"version is ok skipping install"
	Case $claimver > "1.3.18.0"
		?"version is ok skipping install"
EndSelect 

;***************************************


One more thing.....please use the code tags when posting code.

Nice one Mart, all parts are now working. New to Kix and have never used Select statements before, much easier!

Apologies for not using the code tags, this is my first post and will check the rules of the site again.

Cheers guys, enjoy the weekend!

No worries nukes. We all had to learn
Select-Case-EndSelect and/or If-Else-Endif are much better then GoSub and GoTo cause the last two cause so called spaghetti code. Difficult to read and almost impossible to follow the flow of the script.

Will surely enjoy the weekend (almost time to go "home" here).

Evening all,

I have just discovered that the above will not install due to W2k/XP security (users do not have local admin rights). Is there a simple solution round this?

See the FAQ on how to run under admin privs or utilize GPOs to roll out apps. Or use an amdin script that copies the necessary files to the remote computers.

Thanks, however, this needs to be done by tomorrow morning and i'm going mad trying to make sense of it. Can you look at my original code and advise?

Admin script from central workstation copying to remote clients via admin shares:
Code:

$comps=comnetview()
for each $comp in $comps
  Copy @LDRIVE+"\ClaimFLO\*.*" "\\"+$comp+"\c$\Program Files\iDOiNK Technologies\ClaimFLO\"
next

copies the file to all computers, COMNetView is a uDF from the UDF Forum. For illustration purposes only.
