I am using KIX to run several installs, creating a progress counter in the registry to keep track of where I left off. On reboot, I re-run the script and check my settings. The problem is, when I try to shut down, it does not work (seemingly because of the known API issue on Win9x). Instead, I've tried using the RUNDLL32 shutdown option, but I get an error from Windows since the KIX script is still running in a window. Has anyone been able to work this out successfully?

Thanks in advance...
Eric

Are you using COOKIE1 at the end of the script?

Could you post the script or at least the part that makes a log of installs in the registry?

I am trying to track similar installs and would be grateful.

thanks

I'll post it in the scripts section. I've sanitized most of it. Also, I got the shutdown to work properly with a little bit of new code...

If you install programs in Win95 which need a reboot use run "program" instead of shell "program". After the run command you
QUIT the script and let the program reboot itselves, without asking to close the DOS-box manually.
