taskkill and batch file

[anonymous_user]

Im trying to create a batch file to close Roboform:

taskkill /IM robotaskbaricon.exe

It does not work though. If I open the command prompt then type the command, it works.

Any ideas?

hi, two ideas:

- be sure to use .cmd extension, NOT .bat! so it will run the true xp command parser, not a compatibility mode one

- try with /F switch: taskkill /IM robotaskbaricon.exe /F

cheers

Still doesnt work.

TASKKILL /IM process.exe /F

perhaps wrong set path ...

try

%SystemRoot%\system32\taskkill /IM process.exe /F

installed RoboForm and tried with a batch file, works like a charm

Well I think I have a different problem. It seems my Windows cannot launch cmd files.

How can I fix this?

I found the problem: when creating the batch file in Notepad2, I had saved it as unicode.

Saving it as ANSI makes it work again.

Anonymous what do you use to make this silent?

I mean do you use 7zip sfx or winrar sfx?

Its possible to add these commands to your silent installer:

7zip

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="AiRoboForm.exe /unatt"
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c taskkill /F /IM robotaskbaricon.exe /T"
GUIMode="2"
;!@InstallEnd@!

WinRAR

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Setup=AiRoboForm.exe /unatt
Setup=taskkill /F /IM robotaskbaricon.exe /T
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

I use WPI to install Roboform with the /silent switch.
