I'm a genius <Edit> Attachment /Graphics Links are now working fine for me! </Edit>

Okay accusations aside now, the latter explanation will suffice with regards any illegal activity. In answer, as already suggested but lost elsewhere within this thread, it appears that the installation is taking place onto a non-formatted partition. What is happening is that matching user profiles are found during installation and are thus recreated with appendages.

@ Drazick For some reason I cannot access the attachments at all, however you would have been much better off simply providing the URLs for the files, instead of downloading them and attaching them to this post. <Edit> Here they are: Adam's Farewell Present 004 Adam's Farewell Present 005 </Edit>

Welcome to the forums. Try to give it the full tour instead of selectively using one forum group too, it's amazing how quickly your knowledge will expand!

Since you are not directly requiring an environment variable, use a more appropriate key insted! @for /f "tokens=3 delims= " %%? in ('reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v Personal^|find "REG_"') do @echo/%%?All on one line! You could even move to vbscript and use either of these two methods of getting the path: set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") strMyDocs = WshShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments") Wscript.Echo strMyDocs Const MY_DOCS = &H5& Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_DOCS) Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self Wscript.Echo objFolderItem.Path

As noted in jaclaz' reply, the caret is not required as an escape character for the double quotes in side the reg command parantheses.

Is there a reason why you are naming it aps.bat as opposed to apps.cmd?

If you don't provide us with information, you are unlikely to get worthy responses. What have you added to svcpack.inf? Is the svcpack folder source names in dosnet.inf?

Welcome to the MSFN. In answer to your question: Item Nº 5

Welcome to MSFN. I do hope that your buddy isn't distributing releases!

In that case, I will give them a test! Your site does not yet reflect these changes: <Edit>...and the files I've just downloaded bear those same versions above! </Edit>

Being pedantic, if the cmd window is being run hidden, then why bother turning echoing off and redirecting output. Act.Run("%Comspec% /c ping -n 4 127.0.0.1",0,true);

I didn't at any point state my opinions on whether or not I liked your programs. I have given you only constructive criticism, if that's not what you wanted from possibly the most knowledgeable forum membership on the planet, then you should have thought twice about using this board to advertise your programs. Silently connecting to the internet for no good reason will lose you around 30% of possible custom, the necessity on .NET framework will probably lose you another 10%. The fact that your program will die on every computer upon which it is installed, within three months of any date you decide upon will lose you at least 50%. Now look at the remaining market, get off your high horse, stop trying to hide important facts, don't try to crack jokes about it and take the criticism you asked for. <Edit> PS I was going to remove your entire topic, due to the fact it was your first post and you were using it as an advertising springboard for your own applications. This is within my remit. I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt, as you stated that it was available for MSFN testing and comment (flame). If you are not willing to uphold that claim, then let me know and I'll remove the topic. Thank you. </Edit>

This post has been moved from the Introduce Yourself section to here. Since KB932168 can be used on Windows 2000, XP and 2003 this seemed a useful location. If the post however refers to Windows XP, please let me know via PM and I'll move it to the XP forum.

Welcome to the MSFN forums.

Not good enough I'm afraid, you should in those cases, as a worst case scenario, simply display a message to the user that a newer or updated version is available. The new key serves no purpose and will in fact narrow your market considerably. Wrong, however SimpleIndexing is a prime candidate for standalone music only systems without an internet connection. Now the sting in the tail, .NET framework 2.x! why on your dedicated site is this not mentioned at all? You've given no real information on the programs themself, there is no mention of the system requirements, no mention of an internet connection or a three monthly download of a key. Oh and by the way, if you were killed by a train tomorrow, your program couldn't live on in your name, it would die less than three months later.

Is there a particular reason for this type of behaviour. If they are freeware, what is the idea of having to update a key regularly in order to continue using your programs. Does this mean I can only use the software on machines with an internet connection? it's nice to have screenshots, but how about some system requirements?

Welcome to my second home MSFN.

Welcome, to our Forums. I see you've already been busy.

Welcome to MSFN. First help: punctuation, capitalization!

House Music, Manchester United and MSFN... Third time lucky then! Welcome to the Forums.

Welcome to your new home then!

Have you tried rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

@ symanex As you will see, I have already edited your posts in this thread. I have done this because you have posted several successive messages without reply. This is bad forum etiquette! If no-one has replied since your last post, then edit the last post appending the updated material to it. Thank you. PS Removing the outdated attachments would have been a good idea too! <Edit> Lines 488, 1027 & 1612 contain syntax errors - 'Missing Double Quotation Marks' </Edit>

I have already commented this one for you, (data type and structure), in the attachment on your first post.
