runonceex and cmd.exe ?

[beppemito]

i've got a question:

using runonceex, must i use

cmd.exe /c REGEDIT filereg.reg

o can i use

REGEDIT /c filereg.reg

? and for

xcopy

?

For XCopy Yes, because it is part of cmd.exe, but not for regedit, because it is a seperate program

[joebells]

so to use xcopy from runonceex you have to call cmd.exe first?

Something like this?

cmd.exe /c xcopy /E "%systemdrive%\install\apps\Mozilla Firefox" "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox"

[beppemito]

there is a xcopy.exe in system32 folder...

[joebells]

I know that xcopy command works from a regular batch script but in runonceex do I have to specify cmd.exe or do I just call xcopy?

The easy way to remember this is that an external commands don't need cmd /c. So if you can find the exe in your path, then you don't need it. xcopy.exe is external.

Internal commands such as copy and move will need the cmd /c infront of them. You can't find an executable file for these commands.
