Probs Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hi guys n gals, I'm looking for a spot of advice. I'm trying to write a script which detects the presense of a drive (Physical or mapped) under the letter F, if the drive doesn't exist I need to map one in order to make a rather gash uninstaller, well, uninstall. I had a search but couldn't find anything/ I'm sure someone has done this before I just can't see where. Anyone got any ideas ? Cheers in advance, - J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveF Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) dummy = DriveGetType("J:") If @error Then ; @error <> 0 tells us the drive wasn't mapped DriveMapAdd("J:", "\\NeXT\tapioca", 0, "name", "pass") $unmap = 1 ; Note that we didn't have an existing map EndIf Run("J:\uninstall.exe --silent", "J:") If $unmap Then ; Disconnect drive DriveMapDel("J:") EndIf Edit: There should probably be something like a For loop before the Run that tests for the existence of the target on the mapped drive, Sleeps and tests again until success or timeout, in case the drive mapping process isn't stabilized by the time that Run is called. Edited September 19, 2008 by DaveF Yes yes yes, there it was. Youth must go, ah yes. But youth is only being in a way like it might be an animal. No, it is not just being an animal so much as being like one of these malenky toys you viddy being sold in the streets, like little chellovecks made out of tin and with a spring inside and then a winding handle on the outside and you wind it up grrr grrr grrr and off it itties, like walking, O my brothers. But it itties in a straight line and bangs straight into things bang bang and it cannot help what it is doing. Being young is like being like one of these malenky machines.
