just a quick one to start the juices flowing:

GetFileVersion returned "3, 63, 0, 0"
You'll have to mangle that string so that it looks like "3.63" that @kix returned

Jochen

_________________________

$temp0= GetFileVersion( "%0\..\kix32.exe", "ProductVersion")
$result= substr($temp0, 1, 1) + "." + substr($temp0, 4 ,2)
If $result <> @KIX
?"update"
else
?"not update"
endif

Still a little problem;
It doesn't reads the fileversion on the server.

So if you can kix me in the right direction once again?
Thanks alot!

code:

---

if getfiletime("c:\kix32.exe") <> getfiletime("%0\..\kix32.exe")
     ;copy files....
endif

---

Bryce

$2=getfiletime("%0\..\kix32.exe")

$2 is empty ????
So with both options it seems to be the same problem.

Bryce : Getfiletime ... excellent
[*and again Jochen didn't saw the forrest for the trees *]
b.t.w : @KIX would return the Version of Kix32.exe used in the batch to run the Script, wouldn't it ? I suspect %0\..\Kix32

@KIX return the version of the local kix32.exe

try it with

$2=getfiletime("@ldrive\kix32.exe")

Locally in my windows directory i have kix version 3.62
On the server in the netlogon directory is version 3.63

getfiletime("c:\windows\kix32.exe")
returns " 1999/11/24 16:50:01 "

getfiletime("%0\..\kix32.exe")
returns ""

@KIX
returns "3.62"

So the problem is checking the version on the server.

My Trick to do the job:
( It's not really checkin' the version, but just checkin' a key created by the script itself).

code:

---

$KiXversion = READVALUE("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SysBeh","KiXversion")
IF $KiXversion <> "3,63,0,0"
	IF EXIST ($WINDIR + "\BACKUP\Lmscript.exe_old") <> 1
		COPY $WINDIR + "\SYSTEM\LMSCRIPT.EXE" $WINDIR + "\BACKUP\Lmscript.exe_old"
	ENDIF
	COPY @LDRIVE + "Kix32.exe" $WINDIR + "\SYSTEM\Lmscript.exe"
	COPY @LDRIVE + "Kx16.dll"  $WINDIR + "\SYSTEM\Kx16.dll"
	COPY @LDRIVE + "Kx32.dll"  $WINDIR + "\SYSTEM\Kx32.dll"
	COPY @LDRIVE + "Kx95.dll"  $WINDIR + "\SYSTEM\Kx95.dll"
	WRITEVALUE("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SysBeh","KiXversion","3,63,0,0","REG_SZ")
ENDIF

---

Of course the READ- and WRITEVALUE need to be modified every time you update KiX.

Cya,
Wam.

:updatekix

messagebox("Serverversion of Kix is beeing updated","",64)
else
messagebox("What the xxx are you doing with this new kix version","",64)
endif
endif
return

The problem with this solution is that I get an error 32!! Because Kix32.exe is in use ?

That last batch file you show works great!

I was wondering if there is a way to do an "IF" statement in the BATCH file to determine if the files already exist so you could bypass the copying of the files. I don’t really want to copy them unless they aren’t there for some reason.

Or maybe a way to check the version and copy them if the version on the workstation is older than what is on the server (from within the BATCH file)? Of course you guys have been discussing this above. But that is from within a kix file. I would like to do it from the batch file so that it would be updated before it runs the kix logon script.

Thanks,
Pete

/D:m-d-y Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
If no date is given, copies only those files whose
source time is newer than the destination time.

Bryce

Any ideas why it would be doing this?

Thanks,
Pete

does it do this on all of your clients?

what is the OS of the clients?

Could you do a "xcopy /?" and cut-n-paste the output here.

Bryce

Copies files and directory trees.

XCOPY source [destination] [/A | /M] [/D[:date]] [/P] [/S [/E]] [/V] [/W]
[/C] [/I] [/Q] [/F] [/L] [/H] [/R] [/T] [/U]
[/K] [/N] [/Z]

source Specifies the file(s) to copy.
destination Specifies the location and/or name of new files.
/A Copies files with the archive attribute set,
doesn't change the attribute.
/M Copies files with the archive attribute set,
turns off the archive attribute.
/D:m-d-y Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
If no date is given, copies only those files whose
source time is newer than the destination time.
/P Prompts you before creating each destination file.
/S Copies directories and subdirectories except empty ones.
/E Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones.
Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
/V Verifies each new file.
/W Prompts you to press a key before copying.
/C Continues copying even if errors occur.
/I If destination does not exist and copying more than one file,
assumes that destination must be a directory.
/Q Does not display file names while copying.
/F Displays full source and destination file names while copying.
/L Displays files that would be copied.
/H Copies hidden and system files also.
/R Overwrites read-only files.
/T Creates directory structure, but does not copy files. Does not
include empty directories or subdirectories. /T /E includes
empty directories and subdirectories.
/U Copies only files that already exist in destination.
/K Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only attributes.
/N Copies using the generated short names.
/Z Copies networked files in restartable mode.

Thanks,
Pete
