code:

?"Kix version: " + @kix
$rc = GetFileAttr ("c:\test.txt")
?"Error: " + @error + " / " +@SERROR
?"Current attribute settings: " + $rc
Select
	Case $rc <> 32
		SetFileAttr ("c:\test.txt", 32)
		?"Error: " + @error + " / " +@SERROR
		Del ("c:\test.txt")
		?"Error: " + @error + " / " +@SERROR

A batch file cannot determine the version of Kixtart already installed on the system.

Yes and no.
We copy a kix.421 file along with the kix files to all our wksta at logon if necessary. The logon.bat files can check for file existence and copy the new files if the file you have it check for is not found.

The script I posted above also works fine with 3.63.

And actually kix doesn’t need to be installed, just copied

Or, depending on how fast your network is, don't even bother copying the executable to the clients. Just dump everything into the NETLOGON share. Then you don't have to worry whether a client has an incorrect version, no Kixtart at all, or whether somebody tries to break the login script. Granted it adds about 300k of traffic for each user, but, unless you're using dial-up or ISDN, you shoudl eb fine with this. It will also make verison control easier.

The FAQ Forum contains multiple threads about this.
