Do you have any suggestions ?
Thanks,

Do it from a batch file. I copy the Kixtart files over to the workstations using the following. It's not one I wrote so I won't take any praise for it!

IF "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" GOTO WinNT
REM * If can't detect WinNT, assume system is Win95/98
rem XCOPY %0\..\KXRPC.EXE %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
XCOPY %0\..\KIX32.EXE %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
XCOPY %0\..\KX16.DLL %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
XCOPY %0\..\KX32.DLL %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
XCOPY %0\..\KX95.DLL %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
XCOPY %0\..\vip.scr %WINDIR%\ /D /V > NUL
XCOPY %0\..\logo_on.bmp %WINDIR%\ /D /V > NUL
%WINDIR%\regedit.exe /I /S %0\..\kixchng.reg
%WINDIR%\regedit.exe /I /S %0\..\loclpass.reg
ECHO Finished Verifying/Upating Script Installation.
GOTO Runscript

:WinNT
XCOPY %0\..\KIX32.EXE %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
IF EXIST %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KX16.DLL DEL /F %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KX16.DLL
IF EXIST %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KX32.DLL DEL /F %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KX32.DLL
IF EXIST %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KX95.DLL DEL /F %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KX95.DLL
IF EXIST %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KXRPC.EXE DEL /F %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KXRPC.EXE

ECHO Finished Verifying/Upating Script Installation.
GOTO Runscript

:RunScript
CLS
ECHO Mapping NT Directories Please Wait...

%0\..\kix32.exe maps.kix

EXIT

This works v nice and especially useful when upgrading to a new version of Kixtart.

Good Luck

I think the XCOPY command as above should do the trick. try it out on a test user & system.
/D only copies files over if source file is newer
/H copies hidden and or system files
/I If destination does not exist and copying more than one file, assumes that destination MUST be a directory.
/R Overwrites read only files.
/V Verifies each new file
> Nul If the file isn't there copy it over

Also should your line, if not exists "%systemroot%\system32\myfile.dll" read if not exists "%WINDIR%\system32\myfile.dll" Give it a go.

ELSE
   copy "%0\..\file1.xx" "c:\autoexec.bat"
