August 29, 200619 yr Hello!I want to create a batch file that will call another batch file that installs an application. I think i am almost there but having a small problem. call: x:\\xxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxxx\ AdobeUpdates\accrobat 7.0 pro install.bat is what I have at the moment. The resource is on a network drive that all users have access to. Appreciate any input
August 30, 200619 yr What problem are you having? Is the network drive mapped on the PC?What kind of network drive? Novell? Active directory?questions, questions. :
August 30, 200619 yr Put the install file for Adobe Acrobat Reader on a removable media such as a CD or thumb drive and install it directly from the removable drive. that will save you lots of time and trouble.I do that almost every day. Just did it today as a matter of fact.Cheers!Andromeda43
August 31, 200619 yr I think you're missing quotation marks. Shouldn't it be call "x:\\xxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxxx\AdobeUpdates\accrobat 7.0 pro install.bat"? Edited August 31, 200619 yr by Aegis
August 31, 200619 yr call: x:\\xxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxxx\ AdobeUpdates\accrobat 7.0 pro install.batAlso, you don't need : after call if that is exactly how you have it. It should be:call "x:\\xxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxxx\AdobeUpdates\accrobat 7.0 pro install.bat"
August 31, 200619 yr aegis and space surfer are correct dos cannot understand spaces, so it needs "around the paths"
