Recommended Posts

Hi, I got a problem on vista and server 2008. I made some .cmd file and everytime it reach an instruction with a if, the cmd.exe close automatically. here is an sample of my file

@echo ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
@echo Power Configuration for your laptop
start /wait Settings\cmd\PowerOptions.cmd
@echo ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
if "%COMPUTERNAME%" neq "ME" (
echo Adding your Credentials informations in storage of network password
start /wait Settings\cmd\AddCredentials.cmd
)

As soon as it go down the "if "%COMPUTERNAME%.... it closes.

How to solve this and is there any workaround ?

If i tape this instruction manually it works fine but looks like if I use a bat file it doesn't work.

Have you enabled command extensions? I have no idea about this, but i think they need to be enabled for IF to work properly? This is just a guess.

I do however think you need to include the ELSE command, or ELSE it will fail anyway ?! ;)

No need to enable extensions, if you use instead of neq IF NOT no need for ELSE, at least not in the snippet code posted.

Try editing as below:

if NOT "%COMPUTERNAME%"=="ME" (
ECHO INSIDE IF&PAUSE
echo Adding your Credentials informations in storage of network password
ECHO INSIDE IF BEFORE START&PAUSE
start /wait Settings\cmd\AddCredentials.cmd
ECHO INSIDE IF AFTER START&PAUSE
)
ECHO PAST IF&PAUSE

What output you get?
