There was until recently a Topic entitled Onepiece XP Post-SP3 AIO Update Pack posted by nonno fabio. Is that the one you were looking for?

That line shouldn't be there, the key already exists, you do not need to add it or overwrite it, your entire script should only be adding sub-keys and sub-key data beneath that level.

Why do you need to overwrite a key name which already exists? You should only need to overwrite data contained within a key, not the name of the key. Are you hoping to empty all data contained within the tree below that key, if so try it on a live system. If it doesn't work then simply use REG DELETE followed by REG ADD.

Nobody has requested that your project must be stopped, simply reminded all persons interested in this type of thing about the Rules they agreed to by joining the Community. A reminder of the pertinent rules: If you feel that you can continue with your project whilst abiding by the rules then please do so. If you require confirmation of specific post content prior to posting, within reason, please contact the Mods/Admins in advance for advice.

Just so that we are all clear here, please do not misunderstand MSFN's stance on this, it is against our rules to use our Forum structure for distribution of these things, that goes for Personal Messages as well as the Public Boards.

Deltree.exe could actually be located in the same directory as the batch file or any %PATH% location, not necessarily the system32 directory. For many years and several Operating Systems there has been no need to pipe a Y response to a DELete command within a batch file. On Windows 7, I'd suggest you familiarise yourself with powershell Remove-Item <YourPath\*> -Recurse -Force

They are not allowed by Microsoft or allowed to be distributed through the MSFN Forums. Thank you for highlighting this rule breach tomasz86; If those items are available to download from MSFN, they will be removed and the Members providing them Banned according to the rules they agreed to when joining. If you'd like to provide me with the links to the disallowed posts and the users names, I'll get right on it thank you.

How about this for an idea… Stick all of the updates in a single location then if you ever need to use them, do so with a script! If you produce a Service Pack, I'm guessing it could only be for your own use, since the alteration and distributing of those Microsoft wares would be in breach of their rights etc.

Have you tried installing the CS4 stuff before installing the Reader?

I see a potential problem with the example supplied by bphlpt above: ECHO ThisServicePackBuild = 1>> update.txtThe problem is that we generally use lazy redirection, when we write to stdout. ( >output.ext should be written as 1>output.ext ) This means that I'd expect stdout to not receive the value of ThisServicePackBuild.

Before you do anything else you need to ensure that the commands you want to run are in sequence, they will be run in sequence, not in the order you have written them. REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Installing Adobe CS4 Updates" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 10 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 11 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 12 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 13 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 14 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 2 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 3 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 4 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 5 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 6 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 7 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 8 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 9 You need to change your values to include at least one leading zero REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Installing Adobe CS4 Updates" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 01 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 02 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 03 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 04 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 05 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 06 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 07 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 08 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 09 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 10 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 11 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 12 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 13 REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 14

Using the method you suggested earlier in the Topic, does the following work? REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "\"C:\Applications\CS4\Setup.exe --mode=Silent --deploymentFile=\"C:\Applications\CS4\Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium.install.xml\"\"" /F>NUL Then with the Updates: REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "\"C:\Applications\CS4\Updates\Soundbooth-2.0.1-786\Setup.exe --mode=Silent\"" /F>NUL Additionally, since you don't appear to be installing using the console or a console based application then Start and Wait will make no difference to your installation.

My suggestion is to ignore the above script. Not only is it not a good idea to blindly remove things in this manner, it is also a badly written script!

Although it doesn't sound like your issue, I've noticed that a common leftover after virus removal for users of Internet Explorer is usually fixed thus: navigate to Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Proxy server then Uncheck the Use a proxy server for your LAN checkbox

Okay, topics Merged.

This is how I'd expect it to read: REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 1 /D "REG DELETE \"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\,,ipp://dc2.mydomain.com,2F26P\" /F>NUL" /F>NUL

It really depends upon the full intent of your script. You may be able to simply change the For command Dir output. You need to be aware that asking for small changes throughout the Topic can completely ruin the final result. If you actually provide a full and complete explanation of the batch file requirements from the outset it is likely that the solution will better suit your intent. As a side note, a file extension with an underscore suffix does not necessarily mean that the file is compressed.

Are you saying that pre-XP the resulting file copied, C:\MyFiles\Binary.ext, as a result of the following doesn't work or is somehow broken? IF NOT EXIST C:\MYFILES\ MD C:\MYFILES COPY A:\BINARY.EXT C:\MYFILES

Using COPY /B serves no purpose when used in that manner, in fact it is the default mode when copying single files.

I'm intrigued as to what you feel needs improvement in the samples you've provided.You cannot copy what doesn't exist!

I'd suggest you begin by changing all lines containing comments to begin with either :: or REM as opposed to :*

This is the best help you are going to get… Start reading When you think you've read it all, post the detailed steps you believe you need to take here. Request confirmation and or help from there.Expecting others to second guess your project step by step and provide you details about things you've no idea about yet will take a long time and very likely fail to achieve your goal.

Of course there is! The project is basically the script, but you've not done it, someone else has, at the moment it's jaclaz's work The same as your roll up script which was in the majority a copy of the work done by others on the HFSLIP project.

No they are not, basically there are lines in each inf which are pertinent only to that inf. Once you merge them into one you are unable to track information between each file. When the inf is run it will use the value last recorded for a particular piece of data. If you run a line which was intended only for minimum service pack version 1024 against a machine at 768 then you can do untold damage to their system. I'm aware that the exact case above is relatively simple to fix manually but that is only based on the first section at the top of each of the four files you've linked to, what about every other section and every other update. I'm fairly certain that the work needed to do what you want in a scripting language, (and probably a real programming language), will be greater than simply running the updates in sequence as they are now. It appears that you wish to not do that so that you can be the champion of a new unofficial service pack project; But at what cost, especially to those who have done all of the donkey work for you! BTW, I've attached a copy of the resulting file from merging the four samples you provided using my own batch only script. There were errors so the output is incorrect but it was a simple test in order to provide some output for the purposes of this post. I've no real intention of fixing these errors right now. What I'd like from you is an explanation of how you intend to ensure that information from one original file will not overwrite or break that of another section. MERGED.rar
