I have a script that schedules a chkdsk on the next reboot. Chkdsk runs on the system on the reboot the only problem is that if the machine is rebooted again it will run chkdks a second time then it will stop running the chkdsk on reboot after the second chkdsk.

This is how I setup the chkdsk:

RegWrite('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager' , 'BootExecute' , 'REG_MULTI_SZ' , "autocheck autochk /r \??\C:")

My question is what would be the best approach to make sure it only runs once? I thought about adding in something in the Run key to clear out the chkdsk command in the regkey but, I dont think thats the most effiecent way. Any suggestions?

I would put something in the runonce reg key (let me know if you can't find the path). You can have the runonce run a bat file to delete the chkdsk reg key, and the run once key deletes itself automatically. Not sure if you have to run a bat file or if you would be able to run a pure dos command and not need the bat file at all.

Look at this >> 

_StartupRegistry_Install("ChkDsk", @ScriptDir & "Batch.bat", 0, 1) ; Change $iRunOnce parameter to 1.

You were close at post #1 - just needed this: & @LF & 'autocheck autochk *

Try this; wrote it sometime last year ...

Func OnReboot_CheckHardDrive()
    Local $str = 'autocheck autochk /p ??C:' & @LF & 'autocheck autochk *'
    Local $sKey = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64SystemCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager'
    If @OSArch <> 'X64' Then $sKey = StringReplace($sKey, '64', '')
    RegWrite($sKey, 'BootExecute', 'REG_MULTI_SZ', $str)
EndFunc

microsoft does so in windows

RegWrite('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunOnceEx' , 'Name' , 'REG_SZ' , "Command ect ect ect ect")

example

not in silent mode

RegWrite('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunOnceEx' , 'Name' , 'REG_SZ' , @SystemDir & 'reg.exe delete "hklmSOFTWARExxxxxxxx" /va /f')

in silent mode

RegWrite('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunOnceEx' , 'Name' , 'REG_SZ' , @SystemDir & 'RUNDLL32.exe advpack.dll,DelNodeRunDLL32 ' & @WindowsDir & 'xxxxx.dll')

'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager', and very helpful to rename or delete files after restart, Windows Updatehotfix setup always use '....Session Manager'

example setupapi copyfiles flags

0x00000008 (COPYFLG_FORCE_FILE_IN_USE)

Force file-in-use behavior: do not copy over an existing file of the same name if it is currently open. Instead, copy the given source file with a temporary name so that it can be renamed and used when the next restart occurs.

Ciao.
