eagle00789 Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 For XCopy Yes, because it is part of cmd.exe, but not for regedit, because it is a seperate program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebells Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebells Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepnmojo Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
