Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	I'm still confused. That is exactly what you are doing. Firstly, you check wheter that key exists. Secondly, if the key is found, then you execute the package installation. So, what is the problem with it? Is it not running? Do you get any error messages when you run that script? _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

BrianTX BrianTX Korg Regular Registered: 2002-04-01 Posts: 895	Looks like a syntax problem? Not sure.. but, should it be: code: $avginst = KeyExist("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Avg.kernel") If $avginst ? "Avg installed...." SHELL @SCRIPTDIR + "\avg.exe /s" ENDIF

BrianTX BrianTX Korg Regular Registered: 2002-04-01 Posts: 895	Actually, after doublechecking that.. if you want to install if the key doesn't exist, it should probably be: code: IF KeyExist("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Avg.kernel") ? "Avg installed.... ELSE "SHELL @SCRIPTDIR + "\avg.exe /s" ENDIF I'm just guessing, but this checks to see if the key is there, and if it's not it runs the avg.exe silently from the kixtart folder.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	The things Keyexist() returns is changed in oppostition to old Existkey() (3.6X), to the best imho .. SO finally : if there is a key 'Avg.Kernel' found i presume there is no need to install the package anymore , no ? Assuming this to be true I would treat it like this (for readability's sake ) code: if not keyexist("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Avg.kernel") ;key isn't found ? "installing Avg ..." $avg=@SCRIPTDIR+"\avg.exe" shell "$avg.exe /s" endif hth Jochen [ 23 April 2002, 16:38: Message edited by: jpols ] _________________________

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Stephen , if Jens understood that correctly what do you get by running the following : code: if keyexist("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Avg.kernel") ;key does exist :D ? "Avg installed ..." $avg = @scriptdir+"\avg.exe" shell "$avg.exe /s" "error code is : [" + @error + "] - " + @serror get $ ;script halted endif J. _________________________

Stephen Wintle Stephen Wintle Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2001-04-10 Posts: 444 Loc: England	Thanks, and yes this is what im trying to do, for some reasom it seems to bypass this part of my script without attempting to install the software, I know my package works... Thanks for your help so far. _________________________ Dont worry because a rival imitates you. As long as they follow in your tracks they cant pass you!

Stephen Wintle Stephen Wintle Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2001-04-10 Posts: 444 Loc: England	Sorry for the confusion posts are so fast I am replying to the wrong post here's the bottom line, I want kix to check for the key specified, if not there then... Run my package. Apologies for any confusion! _________________________ Dont worry because a rival imitates you. As long as they follow in your tracks they cant pass you!

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	HAH !!!! got it after re-reading (I just copied it w/o recognizing) you tried to shell (and so did I ) : $avg = scriptdir + "\avg.exe" shell "$avg.exe /s" won't work , eh ? Jochen _________________________

BrianTX BrianTX Korg Regular Registered: 2002-04-01 Posts: 895	Ok.. try the code in my first post... I think it may have a chance in heck of working.. assuming that you are trying to run: "avg.exe /s" from the kixtart folder. Brian

BrianTX BrianTX Korg Regular Registered: 2002-04-01 Posts: 895	Now, I finally read your last post.. ok.. the first post of code should work if you are installing if the registry key is there. The second post of code should work if you are installing if the registry key is NOT there... Brian

Stephen Wintle Stephen Wintle Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2001-04-10 Posts: 444 Loc: England	Ok, now this is even more confusing, Brian I used your second post(am logging in with admin rights) on a machine that has the key, it confirms the software is already installed (which it is). However on a machine that dosent have the software it just bypasses the shell command (or seems to) I took the /s switch to make sure I could see an installation. Is the first " in your second post a mistake (I assumed it was?) [ 23 April 2002, 17:16: Message edited by: Stephen Wintle ] _________________________ Dont worry because a rival imitates you.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Ok, let me put together what we have by now (hope nobody mind me) Assuming an install if key exists (still see no sense ) code: if keyexist("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Avg.kernel") shell @scriptdir + '\avg.exe /s' endif OR , installing if key isn't found : code: if not keyexist("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Avg.kernel") shell @scriptdir + '\avg.exe /s' endif Confused ? Me too _________________________

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	So finally you give it away : You install if it isn't yet installed LOL code: if not keyexist("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Avg.kernel") ? 'Installing Avg ...' shell @scriptdir + '\avg.exe /s' endif will do it for you (except the user login in doesn't have the rights to do so ) J _________________________
