Does anyone have examples of Kixtart scripts where executable files are activated via a kixtart script? I'm trying to push out a HotFix for SP4 for Windows 2000 to about 200 client PCs. The HotFix is an executable file. At the "accept license agreement" I need the command in Kixtart to select the radio button (which is press the space bar) to accept the license agreement. Can anyone help?

Can anyone help me with writing this script? I need to run this Hotfix on all the PCs in my office. Here's what I have so far........
;***Verify that registry entries for HotFix exists.*** If (Existkey("IF EXIST HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows 2000\SP4\Q326830")=0) ? "MS HotFix Subkey already exists in registry." goto endofscript
Else
run "\\server name\Support\Windows 2000\Security Updates\SMB Patch\Q326830_W2K_SP4_X86_EN.exe" $ReturnCode = SendKeys("{ENTER}") {I need to insert a command here that will press the space bar so that the install will continue} $ReturnCode = SendKeys("I") $ReturnCode = SendKeys("\\f103003\netlogon\localpolicy.inf") $ReturnCode = SendKeys("{ENTER}") :endofscript

First, if you are using a current version of KiXtart then you should be using:
quote:KeyExist( )
Action: Checks for the existence of a registry subkey.
Syntax: KEYEXIST ("subkey")
Parameters: Subkey Identifies the subkey you want to locate.
Remarks: KEYEXIST is a replacement to the EXISTKEY function found in previous versions of KiXtart. While functionally equivalent, the Return Codes are now inverted, resulting in behavior similar to the EXIST function.
