I am trying to get Kix to call another script for Windows 7 machines only. It seems that Windows 7 is ignoring the Call, Shell and run commands? on both x64 and x32. I have disabled UAC so its not causing the issue.

Is anyone else having the same problem, I was wondering if this is similar to the Ifingroup bug? BTW I have also tried Kix 4.61 to no avail????

The write value is working and that is being applied to everything other than windows 7
 Code:
; The following registry settings need to be applied to all PC's on the network

If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows 2000 Server" GoTo "notsupported"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows 95" GoTo "notsupported"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows Server 2003" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows Server 2003 R2" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows Server 2003 R2 Domain Controller" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows Vista" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows Server 2003 R2 Domain Controller" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows 98" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows Me" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows NT Workstation" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows NT Server" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows NT Domain Controller" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows 2000 Professional" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows 2000 Domain Controller" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows XP Home Edition" GoTo "runscript"
Else If @PRODUCTTYPE = "Windows XP Professional" GoTo "runscript"

;For some reason this is failing to run on Win7 x32 and x64 I have also tried running as shell and run? key.bat resides in netlogon.
CALL @LDRIVE + "\Key.bat"
EndIf

:runscript
WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AssetCTRL", "Test", "1001", "REG_DWORD")
Endif

:notsupported
EndIf


Key.bat contains

 Code:
REG ADD HKLM\software\AssetCTRL /v Test /t REG_DWORD /d 1001 /F
pause

You are missing Endifs for most of your ifs.

Also try changing @ldrive to @scriptdir

If probably has more to do with all your mismatched If/Else/EndIf statements.

You have 17 IF statements, and only 3 EndIf statements.

This should accomplish the same thing...without using the dreaded GoTos.
 Code:
; The following registry settings need to be applied to all PC's on the network

If InStr(@PRODUCTTYPE,"Server 2003") OR
   InStr(@PRODUCTTYPE,"Vista") OR
   InStr(@PRODUCTTYPE,"98") OR
   InStr(@PRODUCTTYPE,"Me") OR
   InStr(@PRODUCTTYPE,"NT") OR
   InStr(@PRODUCTTYPE,"2000 Professional") OR
   InStr(@PRODUCTTYPE,"2000 Domain") OR
   InStr(@PRODUCTTYPE,"XP")
      $nul = WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AssetCTRL", "Test", "1001", "REG_DWORD")
Else
   If @PRODUCTTYPE <> "Windows 2000 Server" AND @PRODUCTTYPE <> "Windows 95"
      CALL @LDRIVE + "\Key.bat"
   Endif
Endif

The other problem you are going to run into is supporting all these OSs. Win9x is no longer supported in the 4.6x versions, and if you want to support Windows 7 you will likely need version 4.61 or 4.62.

Welcome to KORG!

You might be better served by a Select / Case / EndSelect construct, since that's what you're trying to accomplish with the "Else If" in your code, which isn't supported...

Yes. In some instances you may be able to get it to work without, but it is only because Kix is so forgiving.

goto, ouch.

anyways, CALL is for calling kixtart script.
it's not for running bat files which have a totally separate interpreter called cmd.exe

you might wanna see the manual for SHELL command. and to run a program, you need to add the program name (cmd.exe in this case, or %comspec%) to the line. bat is not a program/application and that's why it can't be ran on it's own.

or just remove the bat totally and use kixtart directly instead.

Oh yeah, didnt even notice the CALL there...was too distracted by the ugliness of GoTo's.

Do you really have all those operating systems in your network? If so, I would strongly suggest some standardization. My assumption is that you saw that list in the manual and your just trying to be thorough. You only need to test against the versions that are in your network. Post the contents of your batch file. Someone here should be able to help you translate it into kix script.

his bat actually only contains the writevalue() equivalent he already has in his script.
