It's been a few years since I had to do this but I think this would work.
@Echo This batch file is a test by Joshuacat <===displays a message on the screen Pause <===you probably don't want this...I added it to see my message @echo off <====turns display of message/commands off cd\ cd windows exit Here's a page with tutorials and sample batch files. DOS BATCH FILE WEBSITE HELP Let me know if that helped. -------------------- JC

QUOTE(tango @ Jul 18 2005, 02:02 AM)  Hi to u all, @ECHO OFF CLS cd installs setup.exe @Echo OFF CLS //Mod edit: Post moved from "Apple/DOS/PDA/Other" to the more appropriate forum. Ok the above is your code. Now I'm presuming you have a setup.exe file in a directory located at c:\installs The problem with what you have put up there is that your setup.bat file your creating could be anywere on your computer and were ever it is its going to attempt to go cd installs and it may not work so therefore you want a change there. You also have another clear screen command which I don't see any need in because when you go @echo off theres nothing on the screen anyway from the previous @echo off. So this is what you do. Oh and you want a .... Please wait on the screen so theres something else I'm going to add. @echo off cls cd\installs echo ... Please wait while installing setup.exe cls Thats pretty much your whole code I think and by the way in DOS if you want to start creating batch file to type this in you type copy con setup.bat followed by a Crtl+Z to finish at the end after typing the code. I hope this helps somewhat cause I'm not completely sure of what you were trying to do. There might be an issue with needing a Path statement. Should do some research about that. -------------------- 31337 is a prime number .... 1337 is not .... go figure! |
