1) What kind of script "errors" are they reporting - any more details on that ?

2) There are "issues" with shutdown on 9x, here's an excerpt and workaround from the manual ...

quote:

---

The ShutDown function does not work reliably. This problem is caused by the underlying Windows API. It may be fixed in a future version of Windows 9x. As a workaround, try the following command :
SHELL “%windir%\RUNDLL32.EXE user.exe,ExitWindows”

---

3) Small thing, might want to enclose your SENDKEYS ({ENTER}) with quotes like this SENDKEYS ("{ENTER}")...

But I think the real thing is to determine what kind of error is happening ...

-Shawn

1. The users got the messagebox("PTF upgrade complete...
2. The RUN line generated the error in the KIX32 window. It did not bring up the restart dialog so it rules out sendkeys.

I don't know what machines this happened on. I have not ben able to reproduce the problem on the dozen or so machines I tested. The same sendkeys syntax is used elsewhere without problem. I've tried using shell but it doesn't work with sendkeys.
I think it may have to do with the environment path. Using env. variables like %windir% and %temp% does not always work as expected. It's left me scratching my head.
BTW, the script is called from the NT logon script KIXBAT1.BAT as follows:
%windir%\KIX32.EXE %0\..\SC3.KIX

This is the error I get when I run it on one of my Windows 95B systems.
