This Is Where You Want The File To Copy To

This Is a Location For A Ua Cd Install

%systemdrive%\XPCD\$OEM$\$$\system32

Ill Assume The File In This Location

%SYSTEMDRIVE%\WINDOWS\system32

HERE IS THE COPY SCRIPT

ECHO OFF && cls && Mode 55,3 && Color 5e

if not exist %SYSTEMDRIVE%\XPCD\$OEM$\$$\system32 MKdir %SYSTEMDRIVE%\XPCD\$OEM$\$$\system32 && goto copy1

if exist %SYSTEMDRIVE%\XPCD\$OEM$\$$\system32 goto copy1

:Copy1

if not exist %systemdrive%\Windows\System32\WPA.DBL goto Missing

if exist %systemdrive%\Windows\System32\WPA.DBL goto work

:Missing

Echo The Files Is Not There. Preparing To Exit && Ping -n 2 127.0.0.1>nul && goto Quit

:work

copy /y "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\WPA.DBL" "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\XPCD\$OEM$\$$\system32"

Ping -n 1 127.0.0.1>nul

goto quit

:quit

goto EOF

exit

you have to create the $OEM$ folders yourself in the same directory as I386.

And di you ahve to copy paste from the guide? a simply link would have done nicely, even though the guide belongs to THIS site.

[Gedrog]

Thanks Sory for the copy paste but I did not want to confuse the matter further. So I have to make the following directory tree

D:\XPCD\I386\$OEM$\$$\system32 and copy the file WPA.DBL in here

Looking at the comands at the top here I think it should be

D:\XPCD\$OEM$\$$\system32

Nice gunsmoking but where do I do what u sugest in CMD promt. Sorry dont want to sound sarcastic but I am pretty new to all this and trying to teach myself new things all the time. Again thanks dudes for any help for this noob

[gunsmokingman]

All you had to do was cut and paste the code

I left, It would of done it all for you.

It makes this directory

%SYSTEMDRIVE%\XPCD\$OEM$\$$\system32

Than it copies This File

%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\WPA.DBL

To The Location

[Gedrog]

OK Gunsmoking where do I copy the code into do I go into cmd

I am not yet fluent with thi command line thingys. so you have to take me step for step. ie got to start type in cmd then do this then copy and paste code. It may sound stupid but I really am a virgin to these thing.

[gunsmokingman]

Here The Script

CopyWpa.cmd

[Gedrog]

Thanks gunsmoking but this doesnt help me I do not want to frustrate u but I still need to know do I run the script from cmd

ie Start -> Run-> CMD may sound stupid but I am trying my best to learn something Apreciate your patience. Thanks

[gunsmokingman]

Just open it

It will start every thing in the script

You dont have to do nothing but run it.

1\ Download it

2\ Go to where you downloaded the script

3\ Right click the script and hit open

4\ The script will start and do it tasks

[Gedrog]

Thanks gunsmoking I apreciate it and it works but my question is I see a lot of things here is done from command line based so instead of asking people everytime how do I do this ect I would like to try it so if someone gives me a command line script such as yourself where do I go to type all the goodies in. I have tried your original script but when I open CMD it is set to default my settings and the no matter how I tried with each of your scripts it cept givving me error mesages is there a default directory I need to go to before I type all these commands in. I am not trying to humm around the same point but I am actually trying to teach myself the basics or is there something I can read to teach me basics of the cmd line. So I can stop asking all the annoying questions to guru's like yourself. And I see the file is very popular

Apreciate the help

Open Notepad And Type In this Below

echo.
echo Hello Lets Begin!
ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul

exit

Now Save This As Hello.cmd Make Sure When You save it,

That you save it as a all File.

Thanks dude its really great and it works However I have one more question

ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul is this an IP adress and if so will this have to change to reflect my own PC's IP adress.

Cheers dude really apreciate the help

[Alanoll]

127.0.0.1 is the loopback IP address to your system. It's equivalent to localhost

Thanks dudes this makes it a lot clearer I think I will get a handbook on teaching myself the basics of cmd line any sugestions on a good book will be apreciated.

And I played around a bit and its really fun to see something from few lines of code. See old dogs can be taught new tricks.
