Silent Install BATCH miss-interpretation problem

[HpVaC]

hi, one question please.. you'll see, since i use windows xp in spanish, there are some special characters, for example, start menu is called "menú inicio" i've made a cleanup.cmd, and everything works fine except because my batch doesn't recognize the "ú" char.. it interprets it as "." (mexico ascii code for ú is 0250) but since a left 0 equals nothing.. my batch interprets it as . (us ascii code for . is 250)

Any idea on how to fix that?

I've checked out US ascii table, and theres no code for "ú" aparently

Any help would be apreciated

Old problems with localised versions of windows...

I was using "echo Localised_string > temp.txt" - in that file U will see, what U need to use. Now I created script, that automatically "translate" code from batch files...

i didn't get the way to do that, but hey, good news, i finally get ROE to run installing adobe reader 6, right now i'm moving all my ROG entries to ROE i guess i'll try to RD via ROE, any advice? would i use the normal syntax?

Maybe you should use environmental variables? Shouldn't that work? (Correct me if I'm wrong!)

i've tried that on batch programming and doesn't work at all, i'm gonna try right now using ROE to add a variable and i'll let you know

Neh i couldn't make it, i guess i'll leave that 2 directories and .url file alone, i guess is enought with the automatic software install

Problem solved.. the trick(if anyone is interested) is to create the batch file with edit.com (windows dos editor) instead of notepad or anyother editor

I must say; thanks Mike79
