RunOnceEx Problem

[KeeZ]

Hey there!

I (think) I have a problem. I wrote a RunOnceEx.cmd, but when I test it only the first line is added to the registry. How come? Why don't I see the other lines?

This is what my file looks like:

cmdow @ /HID@echo off
SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Applicatie Installatie" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Adobe\AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe -p\"-s /v\"/qn\"\"" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Daemon Tools" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\DaemonTools\dt346.exe /s" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "DirectX 9.0b" /fREG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\DirectX9b\DX9NTopk.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "WinRAR 3.30" /fREG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\WinRAR\wrar330nl.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 1.01" /fREG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\K-LiteCodecs\klmcodec101.exe /silent" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.1" /fREG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\MSNMessenger\MsnMsgs.msi /QB" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Registry Tweaks" /fREG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\regtweaks.reg" /f

I also have some doubt about the \'s in the adobe line can any1 confirm or correct me?

Thanks in advance....

To me nothing looks wrong, the adobe line can be simplified. IIRC the exe will have a .msi file in it (run it and look in your tempory files). It's easier to run this with the /QB switch.

I dunno why, but when running you code and my old RunOnceEx from within windows the title is the only key that will show up in the registry. And I know my file works because I used to use it.

But when you used your file, was the title key they only thing that showed up in your reg aswell?

Hey,

Check the MS Articles below;

Her is the usage of the command;

REG ADD [ROOTKEY\]Key[\'ValueName']=Value [DataType] [\\Machine]

- You can always set PAUSE after the first line to find out the error message.

- Write your file from the scracth. Open Notepad and write 3 lines and test 2 apps see if it works.

KeeZ, I ran your cmd script, all appear fine in the registry. Although your adobe reader entry is missing a backslash in the registry. (use a cmd file to launch Adobe Reader's silent install to simplify this)
