PsaltyDS Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 hi and welcome,post yuor code until line 8regwrite is correct and work fineI think he's got an unpaired single or double quote, or an open paren with no close.. etc., on a line above that one.

Iuli Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) Ok, here's my code: $mem = MemGetStats() ;MsgBox(0, " The ammount of memory", "You have " & $mem[1] & " KB of RAM") DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\Movie Maker",@ProgramFilesDir & "\Movie Maker",1) If $mem[1] > 510000 Then DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\ViStart",@ProgramFilesDir & "\ViStart",1) RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","ViStart","REG_SZ", @ProgramFilesDir & "\ViStart\ViStart.exe") DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\ViOrb",@ProgramFilesDir & "\ViOrb",1) RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","ViOrb","REG_SZ", @ProgramFilesDir & "\ViOrb\ViOrb.exe') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\LClock",@ProgramFilesDir & "\LClock",1) RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","LClock","REG_SZ", @ProgramFilesDir & "\LClock\LClock.exe') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\Sidebar",@ProgramFilesDir & "\Sidebar",1) RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","Sidebar","REG_SZ", @ProgramFilesDir & "\Sidebar\Sidebar.exe') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\ToolTip",@ProgramFilesDir & "\ToolTip",1) RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","ToolTip","REG_SZ", @ProgramFilesDir & "\ToolTip\VisualToolTip.exe') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\Yodm3D",@ProgramFilesDir & "\Yodm3D",1) RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","Yodm3D","REG_SZ", @ProgramFilesDir & "\Yodm3D\Yodm3D.exe') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\GlassToast",@ProgramFilesDir & "\GlassToast",1) RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","GlassToast","REG_SZ", @ProgramFilesDir & "\GlassToast\GlassToas.exe') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\Madotate",@ProgramFilesDir & "\Madotate",1) RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","Madotate","REG_SZ", @ProgramFilesDir & "\Madotate\Madotate.exe') Run(@ScriptDir & "\TopDesk\TopDesk153Setup.exe" & " /S /NCRC",@SW_HIDE) WinWaitClose("TopDesk 1.5.3 Setup") Else DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\WinFlip",@ProgramFilesDir & "\WinFlip",1) RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","WinFlip","REG_SZ", @ProgramFilesDir & "\WinFlip\WinFlip.exe') Run(@ScriptDir & "VisualPatch.exe" & " /S /NCRC",@SW_HIDE) EndIf Exit Edited September 8, 2007 by Iuli [size="2"]SFXMaker[/size] - The most complete switchless installer creator software[indent][/indent] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) Welcome, And here is fixed code. $mem = MemGetStats() ;MsgBox(0, " The ammount of memory", "You have " & $mem[1] & " KB of RAM") DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\Movie Maker", @ProgramFilesDir & "\Movie Maker", 1) If $mem[1] > 510000 Then DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\ViStart", @ProgramFilesDir & "\ViStart", 1) RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "ViStart", "REG_SZ", '"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\ViStart\ViStart.exe"') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\ViOrb", @ProgramFilesDir & "\ViOrb", 1) RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "ViOrb", "REG_SZ", '"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\ViOrb\ViOrb.exe"') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\LClock", @ProgramFilesDir & "\LClock", 1) RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "LClock", "REG_SZ", '"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\LClock\LClock.exe"') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\Sidebar", @ProgramFilesDir & "\Sidebar", 1) RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "Sidebar", "REG_SZ", '"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\Sidebar\Sidebar.exe"') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\ToolTip", @ProgramFilesDir & "\ToolTip", 1) RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "ToolTip", "REG_SZ", '"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\ToolTip\VisualToolTip.exe"') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\Yodm3D", @ProgramFilesDir & "\Yodm3D", 1) RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "Yodm3D", "REG_SZ", '"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\Yodm3D\Yodm3D.exe"') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\GlassToast", @ProgramFilesDir & "\GlassToast", 1) RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "GlassToast", "REG_SZ", '"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\GlassToast\GlassToas.exe"') DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\Madotate", @ProgramFilesDir & "\Madotate", 1) RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "Madotate", "REG_SZ", '"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\Madotate\Madotate.exe"') Run('"' & @ScriptDir & '\TopDesk\TopDesk153Setup.exe /S /NCRC"', '', @SW_HIDE) WinWaitClose("TopDesk 1.5.3 Setup") Else DirCopy(@ScriptDir & "\WinFlip", @ProgramFilesDir & "\WinFlip", 1) RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "WinFlip", "REG_SZ", '"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\WinFlip\WinFlip.exe"') Run('"' & @ScriptDir & '\VisualPatch.exe" /S /NCRC', '', @SW_HIDE) EndIf Exit If you open a string with a double quote, then you need close the string with a double quote i.e. "string". Same goes for single quotes i.e 'string'. Single quotes can help retain double quotes as in the fixed code above so your paths with spaces will not error when executed from the registry. Edit: Your Run() funcs were missing the workingdir parameter also. Edited September 8, 2007 by MHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
