It sounds like it has to be some kind of OS check written into the script. If you post the code, Im sure we can track it down.
And please make sure to use the CODE tags when posted your script so that it gets formatted properly.

Agreed - this is not a Kixtart message, but one from the script itself. Post the script!

Modify the line where you tried to insert Windows 7 like shown below.
I think the script you posted is not the full script because at least an EndSelect is missing at the bottom of the script.
Code:
Case InStr (@PRODUCTTYPE, "Windows XP") Or InStr(@ProductType, "Windows 2000 Professional") Or InStr (@ProductType, "Windows 7")

If your Win7 boxes are all 32bit you should have no problems, but if they are 64bit you are going to have to take into account the folders/registry locations for both 32 and 64bit apps. {edit: although it looks like you have commented out any paths that might be effected by this. Just keep this in mind.}

Also, writing the log to C:\ may no longer work, as the security on Windows 7 is tighter. Consider writing to %USERPROFILE% for user-specific logs.
Also, the posted script is not complete, as the original message that was being returned is not present.

Re: Existing Kix script works in XP but does not work with Win7

Thanks to you all I will be introducing those changes this weekend to see how it all works. I have taken on board all of your generous replies. I shall certainly keep you all posted with my progress and finding. Thanks everyone.
Indeed I have not put all the script in as it is very large and would swamp the board. Later I will post in the varies sections and functions if thats ok
thank you

Re: Existing Kix script works in XP but does not work with Win7

Hi all, I have made the change you all recommended and it all works nicely under WXP however Win7 still fails. However I did remove all select-case-case1-endselect around os checks etc and left the mapdrives section and the script executes fine.
So it does show that you are all correct when you say it is an OS check failure. I honestly do not know how to resolve this and wpuld like to continue to do an OS check so your suggestions and help would be most welcome

Please post the complete script so we can see what it is doing and what may fail.

Strange, the only part I see that checks the OS is the following line, and it should work fine.
Code:
Case InStr(@ProductType,"Windows XP) OR InStr(@ProductType,"Windows 2000 Professional") Or InStr(@ProductType,"Windows 7")
Do you know what the trouble machines are actually showing for @ProductType? Try adding the following and testing...
Code:
$nul = MessageBox(@ProductType,"OS",0)

Re: Existing Kix script works in XP but does not work with Win7

Guys I think I have solved it. Put the $nul = MessageBox(@ProductType,"OS",0) in the script and behold I was given this" Windows LongHorn Media Center Edition" changed the line windows 7 for this and behold the entire script ran.
Here was I winver Windows 7 Ver.... in Dos windows 6.. bla bla...
wrong track entirely
now it reads
Case InStr(@PRODUCTTYPE, "Windows XP") Or InStr(@ProductType, "Windows 2000 Professional") Or InStr(@ProductType, "Windows LongHorn Media Center Edition")

Re: Existing Kix script works in XP but does not work with Win7

You fixed it,but the better answer is to use 4.61 instead.

Re: Existing Kix script works in XP but does not work with Win7

Yep, I agree with Allen. It would have been recognized as Windows 7 with kix 4.61. BUT...if youre going to keep your current version, i would change your code to...
Code:
Case InStr(@PRODUCTTYPE, "Windows XP") Or InStr(@ProductType, "Windows 2000 Professional") Or InStr(@ProductType, "Windows LongHorn")
I would be reluctant to lock it down to only the media version.
