When installing some of my programs I need taskkill to run, but it wont.

Can anyone look over my commands and tell med whats wrong?

REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "BulletProof FTP Server" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%PP%ftpsetup.exe /verysilent" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 2 /D "taskkill.exe /IM bpftpserver.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 3 /D "%PP%bpftpserver.exe" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\016 /VE /D "DVD Identifier" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 1 /D "%PP%DVDIdentifier3.6.3.1.exe /VERYSILENT" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 2 /D "taskkill.exe /IM "DVD Identifier.exe"" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\038 /VE /D "Opera Search ini editor" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\038 /V 1 /D "%PP%OperaSearchIni\opsedsetup123.exe /SILENT" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\038 /V 2 /D "taskkill.exe /IM opsed.exe" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\052 /VE /D "TuneXp 1.5" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\052 /V 1 /D "%PP%TuneXP15.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\052 /V 2 /D "%PP%Sleep.exe 10" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\052 /V 3 /D "taskkill.exe /IM tunexp.exe" /f

Try adding the /F switch to "forcefully terminate the process(es)."

You could also try using PsKill or NirCMD.

Pretty sure usin Taskill in Runonceex like that will cause the executeable to run first then execute taskill next not really servin the purpose. I generally script it through Autoit.

svortevik, I don't know what your %pp% expands to, but at first glance I noticed that for the first two you might have a problem with the quotes. With RunOnceEx if you need more quotes you will need to preced them with a "\" to get them to transfer properly.

So, your line

REG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 2 /D "taskkill.exe /IM "DVD Identifier.exe"" /f

should be...

REG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 2 /D "taskkill.exe /IM \"DVD Identifier.exe\"" /f

If you expansion variable includes any spaces when expanded, then you'll have the same problem (I know as I learned the hard way!).

Your first line has the executable being executed just after you've killed it!!!

The other two I'm not too familiar with, so I can only ask why use sleep.exe and then taskill?? You might be able to wrap them in a Winrar sfx file or use 7zip for a silent install, but others here can better advise you.

PP=%cdrom%\Install\

I`ll try to use "\" and see if that helps.
