jenefa jenefa Fresh Scripter Registered: 2013-02-01 Posts: 15 Loc: USA	Hello All, If EXIST ($InstallLoc) or EXIST ($InstallLoc2) or EXIST ($InstallLoc3) Is the above valid statement in Kix. I am trying to see if the file exist in any of the locations, and if it does i want to process then accordingly. Thanks Jenefa

If you need to know the install location, use a case statement, like this: Code: ; Assumes installLoc1, 2, & 3 are already defined... Select Case Exist($InstallLoc1) $InstallLoc = $InstallLoc1 Case Exist($InstallLoc2) $InstallLoc = $InstallLoc2 Case Exist($InstallLoc3) $InstallLoc = $InstallLoc3 EndSelect 'Install location is ' $InstallLoc @CRLF The numbered values determine the location and set the unnumbered InstallLoc variable, which is used for all remaining references to the location. Since a Case statement stops after the first match, you can change the preference by changing the sequence of matches. If you need to make a decision based on the file existing in multiple locations, then more complex logic with individual If statements are required.

Close...Maybe something like this is what you're after?

Code:

Dim $Arrayoflocations, $foundLocation
$Arrayoflocations = "%programfiles(x86)%\putty", "%userprofile%\tools\putty"

For Each $location in $Arrayoflocations
   If Exist($location)
      $foundLocation = $location
   Endif
Next

If Len($foundLocation)
   ; Do Stuff Here If Installation Found
   "Install Directory Found: "+$foundLocation ?
Endif
