MS-DOS error: setver.exe

[Iznogoud]

Hi,

I am making a script to have 2 files get registred with setver.

This is my script:

$file = FileOpen("C:\Windows\System32\CONFIG.NT", 1)
FileWriteLine($file, "device=c:\windows\system32\setver.exe")
FileCopy("C:\test\Restore.exe", "C:\Windows\System32\*.*")
FileCopy("C:\test\Backup.exe", "C:\Windows\System32\*.*")
Sleep(2000)
Send("#r")
Sleep(2000)
Send("setver backup 6.22{enter}")
Sleep(2000)
Send("#r")
Sleep(2000)
Send("setver restore 6.22{enter}")
Sleep(5000)

In wich i get the following error:

Sorry its in Dutch, but i says:

The systemfile is not compatible for MS-DOS and Microsoft Applications, Choose close for closing the application.

If i type setver restore 6.22 in START > RUN it does work.

I think i need to use an other function.

Could someone help me please?

Perhaps the setver command can only be run before Windows is loaded, in which case you would need to script a DOS batch file to do the job.

If i am in Windows Xp in this case and i do START > Run > setver backup 6.22

It will run correctly. If i do START > Run > CMD and enter setver backup 6.22 in the screen it will work also.

But as soon as i do:

run("cmd.exe")

Send("setver backup 6.22{enter}") it will give this error also.

It has something to do with AutoITscript but i don't know what.

Why do you open the CONFIG.NT and write the Device= line?

You are not closing CONFIG.NT before doing the run so the file is open and not available..... it will close when the program ends and thus will the commandline work again......

So just do a FileClose($file) before Sending #R.

You could also do a RUNWAIT(@comspec & " /c setver backup 6.22") in stead of the #R

Yes thank you, this was a solution. I already tried some different things, in wich i have made multiple scripts combined in one script.

One script starts first the writeline(script wil end and closed the file) then the 2nd script started for the last part.

If i used fileclose i was also done

Damn i am getting addicted to AutoIT
