Re: Why Won't my Batch File run in Win 2K or XP?

OK I amended my file - it reads as shown below. It works fine in Win 98.
Does not work in Win 2k or XP. Under those operating systems the script does
not perform the copy or deletes. Is this because I am not using the syntax
that Guard referred to in the previous post?


@echo off
set ver=Win95
ver | find /i "Windows 95" > nul
if not ErrorLevel 1 goto %ver%

set ver=Win98
ver | find /i "Windows 98" > nul
if not ErrorLevel 1 goto %ver%

set ver=Winxp
ver | find /i "Windows XP" > nul
if not ErrorLevel 1 goto %ver%

set ver=Win2000
ver | find /i "Windows 2000" > nul
if not ErrorLevel 1 goto %ver%

echo Unknown operating system!
pause
goto Exit

:Win95
copy c:\windows\desktop\olp.ico c:\windows\system
del c:\windows\desktop\olp_shortcut.exe
del c:\windows\desktop\olp.ico
goto Exit

:Win98
copy c:\windows\desktop\olp.ico c:\windows\system
del c:\windows\desktop\olp_shortcut.exe
del c:\windows\desktop\olp.ico
goto Exit

:Winxp
copy /Y "c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop\olp.ico" %SystemRoot%
del "c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop\olp_shortcut.exe"
del "c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop\olp.ico"

:Win2000
copy /Y "c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop\olp.ico" %SystemRoot%
del "c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop\olp_shortcut.exe"
del "c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop\olp.ico"

:Exit
cls
