this is the batchfile that call the kix script. NT machines do not display the %os% variable error but 95 clients do.

this is the original version

@echo off
cls
xcopy \\Server\Share\kix32.exe %windir% /d >nul
If %os%==Windows_NT goto script
xcopy \\Server\Share\kx32.dll %windir% /d >nul
xcopy \\Server\Share\kx16.dll %windir% /d >nul
:script
%windir%\kix32.exe \\Server\Share\logon.kix

this is what I would like to test:

@echo off
cls
xcopy \\Server\Share\kix32.exe %windir% /d >nul
If %os%==Windows_NT goto script 2>nul
xcopy \\Server\Share\kx32.dll %windir% /d >nul
xcopy \\Server\Share\kx16.dll %windir% /d >nul
:script
%windir%\kix32.exe \\Server\Share\logon.kix

Notice the 2>nul in the above script. I'm hoping that this would suppress the syntax error message that 95 displays

Thanks for your help

You better can use the following macro:

If @InWin = 1 ; it's WinNT alright
Goto "NT code"
Endif.

GoodLuck,

The batchfile works fine and does what it is supposed to do, but it generates a syntax error on the 95 clients (before Kix runs). I am trying to suppress that error message

That is because Win9X clients don't have a variable like %os% unless it is defined in the autoexec.bat. Maybe you can do something with the DOS variable %TEMP%. For Win9X clients is the default path C:\Windows\Temp while de default NT %TEMP% variable = C:\Temp.

Hope's this helps.

Jos.

ever thought of :
IF ver=="Windows NT Version 4.0" GOTO NT
.
.
Code for Win95

:NT

This will branch correctly in both NT and 95, and do not produce a syntax error in 95
