How to run this from a cmd file

[RTK999]

Hi i have this problem how i can run this instruction from a cmd file:

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:

SET PP=%CDROM%\Software\

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Test" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "CMD.exe /C XCOPY \"%PP%Ztest\Data\" \"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Ztest\Data\" /E /Y /I" /f

so i want this:

a cmd file that contain this instruction XCOPY "Data" "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Ztest\Data\" /E /Y /I ,to copy those files and call in runonceex.cmd so:

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Test" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%PP%Ztest\test.cmd" /f

i dont want a SFX archive. that is my last option but i would like a cmd file instead of calling in the same runonceex.

sorry for my first post i didnt wanna make it that just i wrote the first post in a wrong forum.

The question is :

I want to run the xcopy command from a batch file and then call the batch file from RunOnceEx.

The problem is that i dont make the xcopy command work in th batch file i tried everything but nothing happened.

I dont want to run the xcopy command from the RunOnceEx file.

This command inside your NT Command Script should work fine.

XCOPY Data %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Ztest\Data /E/Y/I

.

From the code you've provided it does appear that your Data folder is in the correct location in relation to the script and your runonceex command line appears to be correct.

Try changing the command line to that which I've provided and report back with your results.

Well its work fine know i put this in my batch file:

@echo off

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:

SET PP=%CDROM%\Software\

XCOPY %PP%\Aimp2\Data /E /I /Y "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Archivos de programa\AIMP2\Data\"

EXIT

and then call it from my Runonceex from cd:

@Echo Off

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:

SET PP=%CDROM%\Software\

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Softwares List" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Start..." /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Aimp2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%PP%Aimp2\test.cmd" /f

EXIT

thanks Yzöwl for support, this is a bit more work but is more ordered the runonceex

I'm glad you've got it sorted.

Try to learn to optimize your code a little too!

e.g.

@echo off
FOR %%i IN (
	D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
	) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET "PP=%%i:\Software\Aimp2\Data"
XCOPY %PP% "%PROGRAMFILES%\AIMP2\Data" /E/I/Y

As you can see, since you weren't actually using %CDROM% you didn't need to create it as a variable!
