Should I use:

SET COPYCMD=/Y,V

or 

SET COPYCMD=/Y,/V

or is there no difference and can I use both?

BTW internet search gives no results in this case (for me).

I've been wanting to learn some assembly programming and stumbled upon this book which some people mention it as a good introduction to 80x86 Assembly language.

https://www.amazon.com/80X86-IBM-Compatible-Computers-Interfacing/dp/013061775X

The book is old, and I know that its contents are not updated to the newer processors from nowadays but as it involves old stuff I would like to give it a try (seems fun ). To someone that knows about the book or about this subject the question I have is the following, which operating system do I use for DOS stuff? The book mentions the MASM assembler and there is some material on this website (archived by the Internet Archive) and mentions DOS (which is like an old Windows, I think ).

https://web.archive.org/web/20090120232105/http://microdigitaled.com/x86/x86 Books.htm

I really don't know about this very much but I would like to. I think that I might be able to get stuff emulated on my system so I could follow the book.

Also, if you know about a good way (or several ways) to follow this book, let me know! Seems like a very interesting journey.

Cheers.

PD: I don't know if this thread is in the correct place but as it has to do with assembly programming I figured it would fit well this category.

I have tried different commands, 

SetupAgilia Partner V2R 4.1.3 - 6.0.12 - Key2.exe" /VERYSILENT /SP- /LOADINF="C:\Users\JP\Desktop\New folder\sETUP.inf"

"SetupAgilia Partner V2R 4.1.3 - 6.0.12 - Key2.exe" /SILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /LOADINF="C:\Users\JP\Desktop\New folder\sETUP.inf"

I'm aware there is already another GUI application with a similar purpose, but you might find this one more fitting for your context as it has some key differences, such as:

- Focused on simplicity. Command-line operation only

- Script available under a permissive license (Unlicense)

- Code and its functioning is commented and documented to its best. Take a look at the code to learn how it works.

- It can run natively on Linux, even on a Raspberry Pi

- A function lets you download the details page in HTML format for each update, ready for offline read

I've made it available both on my website and GitHub:

https://github.com/blueclouds8666/msupdate-dl

http://neonfloppy.sytes.net/projects/msupdate-dl/

Let me know if you found it useful, I'll be listening feedback to improve the script if needed.

http://neonfloppy.sytes.net/resources/compiling/

is these math correct:

PosX2D = PosX3D /(FocalDistance+PosZ3D);

PosY2D = PosY3D /(FocalDistance+PosZ3D)

?

i have seen several tutorials and seems that they have their own Perspective.
understand these, i can create my own polygon and move front-back, and left-right.

 

I have a big issue in Visual Basic. When I create a shortcut on the desktop using a small program in Visual Basic 5.0 on Windows 98, the shortcut have its target on the previous folder (ex: C:\Program Files\ovtxt_xp_run.exe instead of C:\Program Files\OverRender OverText XP\ovtxt_xp_run.exe | you can see that the "OverRender OverText XP" folder is missing in the target.

Here's the code in VB 5.0:

' Programme de création du raccourci d'OverRender OverText XP dans le dossier de l'application
' This program is a part of the OverRender OverText XP Setup.
'
' 2023 - OverRender.com

' Processus de création du raccourci

Private Sub cmdMakeLNKFile()
Dim Shell As WshShell
Dim Shortcut As WshShortcut
Dim DesktopDir As String
  ' Initialiser l'objet WshShell
  Set objShell = New WshShell

  ' Initialiser l'objet ObjShortcut
  'the complete name of the .lnk file, include full path plus the .LNK file extension
  Set objshortcut = objShell.CreateShortcut(App.Path + "/OverRender OverText XP.lnk")

  ' Définir la cible du raccourci
  objshortcut.TargetPath = App.Path + "/ovtxt_xp_run.exe"
  
  ' Définir l'icône du raccourci
  objshortcut.IconLocation = App.Path + "/softassets/ovtexticon.ico"
  
  ' Définir le commentaire / la description du raccourci
  objshortcut.Description = "Create, open, edit and share documents easily by using OverRender OverText XP."
  ' Sauvegarder le raccourci créé
  objshortcut.Save
  MsgBox (App.Path)
End Sub

' Exécution de la tâche "cmdMakeLNKFile" lors du lancement du programme.
' A noter : le programme est invisible.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Call cmdMakeLNKFile
'MsgBox (DesktopPath)
End
End Sub

(do not worry about the comments in French, you can always translate them).

Could anyone help me with that please?

I have that since now 1 year and it's very annoying, as shortcuts are made to make the access to the program easy and not hard.

Thank you!

I am working on a conversion script but got stuck with 1 thing that I cannot get past... 
I want to change a certain word in a file with a hex-value, with the use of gsar.exe (command line!), but ignore it if the word is somewhere between quotes

Original text:
9023 AAAA "this is a AAAA" "AAAA" "*:;AAAA'" Aaaa " Because AAAA" " aaaa " AaAa

text after gsar is done:
9023 XXXX "this is a AAAA" "AAAA" "*:;AAAA'" XXXX " Because AAAA" " aaaa " XXXX

(where XXXX represents the hex value a5)

Please note:
-it should be case insensitive
-it should ignore everything between quotes
-I want to use gsar.exe but sed.exe (Windows) or another command line tool would be good as well
-The opening quotes are the same as the closing quotes (0x22)

I have been working on this for a whole day now and I am not even close

I know this be done and probably with only 1 line. This is what makes it extra frustrating. It doesn't have to be gsar. Sed.exe or another command line tool would be good as well! 
 

@ECHO OFF
FLTMC >NUL 2>&1 || PowerShell Start-Process -FilePath '%0' -Verb RunAs >NUL 2>&1 && EXIT /b
FLTMC >NUL 2>&1 && GoTo EVD
ECHO I'm not wokring.
PAUSE
:EVD
ECHO Hallo World.
PAUSE

I remember back in the old XP days there was a Window menu and you could tell it to remember the size and position (or maybe that Win98?)

Anyways, I'm not sure which language to implement this.

The way I see it I can use:

- Windows Batch script (.bat)

- VBscript (.vbs) - I know this may be considered outdated but it's still very useful and can do the simple task I need

- Powershell

- .NET (probably overkill but listing anyways)

And I'm sure there's more options I haven't listed.

If there is a "preferred" or "best-practice" choice I would like to know

Or if you just have suggestions or comments please leave a remark below!

I have same basic experience in all the above languages so that's not a factor.

RIght now I am considering writing the same script with the first 3 languages and noting my opinions/observations.

I have not found anything about telemetry being present in the 2015 (updated version) and beyond but I just wanted to check here - is this correct?

The problem with the application is that it crashes whenever you try to open or save a file (using the open/save dialog). It's a problem that also occurs with newer versions of this application and the fix seems to be to edit a file named CommonVcPh.dll and redirect comdlg32.dll to the XP version of this file (which you then copy to the folder the application resides in). I've tried that with the older version of this application but it still crashes whenever it's supposed to open the open/save dialog.

https://workupload.com/file/Zn4cMQ27R65

P.S: DEP needs to be disabled to run the application.

However Im trying to Disable Windows UAC with this line of batch code !

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableUAC /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

And works perfectly, since to take effect machine must reboot, and it's not good choice since bypassing UAC would make all work easier, and I add another reg key to RunOnce, when machine starts up, launch that .bat file which installs silently applications !

set BATDIR=%~dp0
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /f /v One_Click_Installer /t REG_SZ /d "%BATDIR%win7.bat"
shutdown -r -f -t 5 -c "Machine will reboot within 5 sec's !"

And it reboots, on startup launches win7.bat, which is batch file containing code to start installing applications, but I don't know whats the difference launchin this bat file on startup, it doesnt work, it's like just showing for example 'application x installed finished' but actually it's going fast to all applications but it doesnt work, when I double click to the same batch file, works perfeclty !

If you want I can post that .bat file code, win7.bat .

So I just want to know, whats the difference, when same batch file launched directly works, when it starts up with RunOnce registry fails ?

If anyone has any trick that can run batch file, that executes exe's silently bypassing UAC, would be good to tell me !

Thanks !

HI , i finally found the solution. But implementing it is not easy.

I am not a programming specialist, but I always look at it. In fact, the server does not contain source code and his mission was to link the players only. The source code is fully found in chkr.dll and chkrres.dll.
The source code is extracted using IDA hex rays Decompiler and all the game pictures are in chkrzm.exe and we extract them using Resource Hacker
This is an example of a game checkers.

Therefore, I call on all programming specialists to cancel and reduce the obligation to enter the server. So the starting point becomes based on the code only.

My grandfather wants these games. He almost gets Alzheimer after leaving the computer when these games are over. I promised him that I would find a solution, as he does not want another.

Please help me.

And whoever tries, I tell him, "Please do not change the appearance of the game."

All source is in .dll
I found it all with IDA and ResourcesHacker.

cmnresm.dll contains all the windows dialogs, all the menus windows and games bitmap and also contains STRINGTABLE.

cmnclim.dll contains some DIALOG and Menus windows

chckrres .dll contains configs, all game bitmap, icons, and DIALOG windows.

chkr.dll contain the source code. I found the special functions of the game with using IDA

This is an example of checkers

And thanks.

With a few minor patches to GCC it's possible to make it link against CRTDLL.DLL by default instead of MSVCRT.DLL. This means when you compile using the patched toolchain your program assuming it uses no features only available on newer versions of Windows will automatically work on older versions of Windows such as NT 3.51.

By using the files from Mingw32 instead of Mingw-w64 it resolved an issue where DLLs would have a .tls section and LoadLibrary would fail on Windows 95 or it would cause crashing on Windows 98 or Windows 2000. I put C++ for pre-2000 in the title because I also patched out a few functions in libstdc++ which require Windows 2000 or later.

If you are running Arch Linux you can checkout the PKGBUILD files. https://github.com/ComputerNerd/mingw32-crtdll

If you are not a Linux person but want to use this, you can run Arch Linux using a Virtual Machine or look at the PKGBUILD files and run them manually.

in this specific case, but would be nice even for any future problem in any way...

waterfox profile folder is this:
"%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Waterfox\Profiles"

but on every new pc the default user profile folder is garbled mesh and always different generated
in my current install it is named c5prw4uk.default
(so full path is "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Waterfox\Profiles\c5prw4uk.default")

my question is, how to make within BAT/CMD script, so when you do DIR /A:D (to show only directories)
that name of that folder which is displayed gets set in %variable so i can do cleaning of
c5prw4uk.default\cache\*.*

anyone understood ?

My project is how to create a batch file with a boot menu offering the possibility of installing the following operating system at the user's choice: Windows 10 alone or Windows 10 with preinstalled applications.

A menu will allow the user of this medium to choose his hard disk from the disks installed on the workstation. The following disks may be encountered: 120 GB, 200 GB, 450 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB. 

Among the intern's workstation applications we have: Vmware, Teamviewer, Vnc, Camtasia, Acrobatpdf.

Is it possible to any help to build it?

Regards,

Well, I finally figured out where it came from. It is part of a distribution of hashutils - https://code.kliu.org/misc/hashutils/ - made and distributed by Kai Kliu -aka- code65536, so it can definitely be trusted. The version I was using was from hashutils-1.2.3-redist.7z, which is no longer posted on his site, while I assume the one that@jaclazfound was either from hashutils-1.2.4-redist.7z or hashutils-1.3.0-redist.7z, both of which ARE available and readily downloadable.

The components of the hashutils package are:

• crc32sum.exe
• md4sum.exe
• md5sum.exe
• sha1sum.exe
• edksum.exe

All are available in both x86 and x64 versions (all included in the distribution), all of the utilities support recursive directory traversals with the -r switch, and all work on XP and above.

@jaclazdetermined that md5sum.exe was as fast as any other method that was found at the time, and I believe the other utilities should have the same level of performance.

Where this came from has been bugging me for over six years, so I figured I would pass this info along since I finally found it again.  There are several other useful utilities available on his site, such as elevate, hidecon, vcopy, fontreg, the shell extensions ContextConsole -aka- Open Command Prompt, and HashCheck, among others, so look around and have fun! The two shell extensions mentioned are even open source, with source code available for download.

Cheers and Regards
