I'm stuck with the following situation;

In my main script there is this line:
WRITEVALUE ( "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce", "OutlookSettings"," run \\server\outlook2000$\OutlookSettings.bat", "REG_SZ" )

This works. It seems be carried out during the next login. But it doesn't do anything.
If I carried out the batchfile manually then it's fine.

This is the content of OutlookSettings.bat:
Z:\Kix32.exe %0\..\OutlookSettings.kix $ZKey=%1

I appreciate any help, thanks.

to this:

"%comspec% /c \\server\outlook2000$\OutlookSettings.bat"

or perhaps this:
"START \\server\outlook2000$\OutlookSettings.bat

Run is not a Windows command, but a KiX command. You are running this item outside of KiX and strictly in Windows environment.

Bill

I've just tested this on NT4 workstation

You can get away with just removing the word "run" so the following line of code works nicely.

code:

---

WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce", "OutlookSettings","\\Server1\outlook2000$\OutlookSettings.bat", "REG_SZ" ) 

---

Hope that helps,

I've tried the %comspec% cmd /c, start and without. None works in my case.

Thanks in advanced.

It's about outlooksettings.kix which is triggered by the outlooksettings.bat.

=================================

Also in your bat, you are setting $ZKey=%1 but I don't see where you are passing %1.

[ 31 January 2002: Message edited by: LLigetfa ]

+ Was this a typo: "I've tried the %comspec% cmd /c, start and without."? You would use either '%comspec% /c' or 'cmd /c', but not both on one line.

+ Does you batch file require a mapped drive to execute, versus UNC naming?

Don't forget when using "$", it should be "$$".

outlook2000$$ instead of outlook2000$ doesn't helped either.

I also tried to change the "@curdir" to UNC path and to drivemapping. No good also.

Thnx.

It's in the 3rd line of OutlookSettings.kix;
$zkey = ReadProfileString(@LDrive + "\test.ini","mailid","%username%")

Bleonard:
- it's on NT4.0 wks, the permission share is read and the NTFS I've changed to change from read.
- oops, it wasn't a typo. But I just give a go again with only %comspec% /c but no go either.
- I guess it's not necessary, cause when I doubleclicked on it it will do the job.

Has this batch file and script ever worked? If so, in what manner? Have you run the script in dubug mode to watch results? There are no routines to handle failure states in your script, so very difficult to troubleshoot on this board. When $Scriptspath = @CURDIR, what value is returned during the login script execution, and is this in fact where the scripts are located? And are the references to 'C:\Windows' and '%UserProfile%' accurate for all workstations and O/S's on your network?

Bill

then point to it to know is the problem runonce or script related.

cheers,

It works when OutlookSettings.kix is carried out manually.

@curdir was indeed the trouble I posted earlier in my ever first posting here today. I solved it by replacing it with this:
$installsource = "\\server\Outlook2000$"
USE Z: /delete
USE Z: $installsource
@curdir = $installsource
$Scriptspath = "Z:"

Maybe it's better if I post it the whole story in the next one, cause I've been struggling with it for the last 2 days and I'm very tired now

Tnx.

That's what I do. I manage the first part; the installation.

Now I've been troubleshooting with only writing the 2 batch files to the 'runonce' key in apart script. But it won't do what it did when they are triggered manually.

Well, I've been on my work for more than 10 hours and I can't really see anything anymore. So sorry but I go home now. Tomorrow I will be back again.

Thanks. Bye.

If this is all started from an entry in the RunOnce key, then perhaps an issue with the batch file calls is the culprit:

kix32.exe %0\..\OutlookInstall.kix
kix32.exe %0\..\Cleanup.kix
Kix32 %0\..\OutlookSettings.kix $ZKey=%1

In each command, the '0\..\' represents to KiX32.exe that the KiX script resides in the current directory. If executing from RunOnce, my guess is the current directory will be defined as being equal to '%windir%', generally 'C:\Windows' (though I do not know for a fact). If the KiX scripts do not reside here, they KiX32 attempted start of the script will fail.

You may be better off either mapping a temp drive, or using UNC notation, to specifically direct where to call the batch files to be run.

Bill

I've given some thought last night and have some ideas I'm gonna try now.
