My current login script has one main script which calls other scripts for specific functions.

I've recently added a new "plug-in" script - in order to install SU, then install SP's etc if its already there, however, when the main script calls this script - i get the above error code.

Running the script individually works fine. Any ideas? Im finding it a bit weird since its not even an .exe... its another kix script

so, how do you call it?
posting the scripts might help a lot as I haven't seen this error.

cheers,

Where exactly does this error happen. I would normally suspect a corrupted .EXE file (wrong .EXE header, corrupt file, corrupted network transmission)

Dear,

Welcome to the board.

First some questions:
- which kixtart version running?
- which kixtart binary running? kix32 or wkix32?
- where are the kixtart binaries installed? NETLOGON and clients?
- how are you calling your script? by kix32 or by a BATch file?
- what are you trying to do in your script? f.e. installing of some software?

Suggestion:
- use our tool kixstrip, which can add all kind of debugging code to your script.
- and take a look at the FAQ forum. you will find there information about su
command, which can give a kixtart script administrator rights.

Our suggestion 1:

Very your syntax with our kixstrip tool. Possible call

kixstrip input.kix output.kix /block_check /show_structure

Our Suggestion 2:

A way to see what is going wrong can be done by our kixstrip
tool with option /debug.
At the end you only need to look at output file to see what was
executed and what were the error status.
The debugging file will not be overwritten.

QUESTIONs:
- is it possible to see what is happening during a logging on session.
- is it possible to see how long our script runs.

Advice: please run your script after adding our debugging code to it.
How:
- add debugging code?
- is debugging possible without user intervention? YES
- can is be usefull by logon or script problems? YES

A way of checking your script is by using our tool kixstrip on our site
http://home.wanadoo.nl/scripting
With the option /debug we add additional kixtart code, which shows
  • which line was executed.
  • what was the time of execution.
  • what was the error status of previous executed line.
So it is possible to catch the error status of kixtart statements during
a logon session.
and
it will show the last executed before script is crashing.

An example.

For changing your script with debugging code use
f.e. kixstrip input.kix output.kix /debug

It is no longer necessary to change RedirectOutput statement for normal operation.
The default debugging file will be
%tmp%\kixdebug.txt.
By an automatic cleaning of the %tmp% we advise to uncomment the line

;$_debug_file="c:\kixdebug.txt"

During the execution the information will be append to previous information.
So it is possible to check the differences.

be sure above RedirectOutput file has write permissions.

A kixstrip output example of our script os.kix (reduced version) is:
code:
            ;CLS
IF (instr("-3.0x-3.1x-3.2x-3.3x-","-"+substr(@kix,1,3)+"x-") <> 0)

When you still have problems please:
  • put some code on the board.
  • put your logon batch file on the board.
  • put the output of a debugging run on the board.
  • put a DIR list of your NETLOGON directory on the board.
  • put a DIR list of your clients on the board with contains information
    about: KIX32.EXE and KX*.DLL
Greetings.
btw: it is only some additional information about how you can debug your script.

btw: with kixstrip ? you get a summary of possible options.
The result will be something like this:
code:
 Kixstrip 4.10 (vs 3.19e)     (c) MCA - scripting@wanadoo.nl - 2000, 2001, 2002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
kixstrip [input] [output]
/Block_Check or /BC /Combine /Debug
/Headers /License /License=[var]
/Performance /Print /Progress
/Show_Errors or /SE /Show_Structure or /SS /Translate
/TAB=[num] (def: 6)
default: /Combine /Headers /License (other options are negative)
other: - options with prefix "/No" will be ignored. f.e. /NoDebug /NoTab
- /Block_Check /Tab=2 (auto set: /NoCombine /NoLicense /Print )
/Debug (auto set: /NoLicense /Print /Show_Errors )
- /Block_Check (reformat kixtart code inc. block structure )
/Combine (combine lines to one line )
/Debug (insert "line numbers" for each printed line )
/Headers (insert summary report as footer )
/Performance (insert "indicator" for each executed line)
/Print (do not remove print statements )
/Progress (insert "indicator" for each printed line )
/Show_Errors (insert error messages in output file )
/Show_Structure (insert block structures in output file )
/Translate (convert keywords to upper/lower-case )
examples - kixstrip test.kix test.out /Block_Check /Debug
- kixstrip test.kix test.out /Performance /Show_Structure

Dear,

Mostly a file has been saved with a wrong file extension. Normally an EXE contains as first
three characters MZE.
greetings.
