bigred Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Please forgive my noobi-ness...but at least I'm having fun learning I want to copy a couple of things to the Program Files folder...Obviously if I use "%systemroot%" in my batch file, that's meaning the Windows folder...but of course the "Program Files" folder is in the same C Drive directory as the "Windows" folder is....Can anyone give me a sample line that would copy "exampleA" to the Program Files folder? (This is a folder containg ResHack)Would I just put - copy "%systemdrive%\Install\SystemFiles\exampleA" "C:\Program Files\" ???Thanks for your help...

Aaron Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 If you want to copy a directory to another location where it never existed, then use XCOPYXCOPY /E /Q "%systemdrive%\Install\SystemFiles\exampleA" "%systemdrive%\Program Files\exampleA" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 Oh I see....I've never used this XCOPY yet (still a noob ).I'll give it a try.... thanks for the quick reply... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 OK....I followed instructions, and got the folder copied...but I did have one more question... During the batch file, and specifically when this folder was copied, a dialogue came up asking me if I was specifying "a file (f) or a directory (d)" ...I was being prompted to hit f or d...I hit d because it's a folder I'm installing, and everything worked fine....but how could I do this without having to press a key...how can I automate that ? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
