I need someone to quickly create a batch file I need. I tried creating one myself, but it is not behaving in the way I am expecting it to and am not sure what I'm doing wrong. For someone with experience this will probably take 5 minutes. I have attached the batch file, but will also explain what I am expecting it to do, so it can be fixed. 1. Firstly determine if a version of the software has already been installed. If it has been installed then a text file called "[login to view URL]" will exist in the "Program Files\Auto-BF" folder (32-bit) or "Program Files (x86)\Auto-BF" folder (64-bit) If the text file is found, then display the text "Auto-BF found on system" 2. Now determine if another file has already been installed on the computer. If it has been installed then an executable file called "[login to view URL]" will exist in the "Program Files\MarketFeeder Pro 7" folder (32-bit) or the "Program Files (x86)\MarketFeeder Pro 7" folder (64-bit) If the text file is found, then display the text "Marketfeeder Pro found on system" If both statements are true then display text on screen "Auto-BF will now launch - Please run MarketFeeder Pro" then the batch file should launch: "Program Files\Auto-BF\[login to view URL]" (32-bit) or "Program Files (x86)\Auto-BF\[login to view URL]" folder (64-bit) 3. If the process does not complete step 1, and "[login to view URL]" is not found, then the batch file should assume that it needs to be installed for the first time. it therefore needs to do the following steps: a) create a folder called "Auto-BF" in the following location: %userprofile%\MarketFeeder Pro 7\profiles\ b) if 32-bit windows then copy "[login to view URL]" and "[login to view URL]" from the "Program Files\Auto-BF" folder to %userprofile%\Marketfeeder Pro 7\profiles\Auto-BF\" folder Also copy "[login to view URL]" to "%userprofile%\MarketFeeder Pro 7\mlocator\" folder and copy "[login to view URL]" to "%userprofile%\MarketFeeder Pro 7\triggers\" folder or if 64-bit windows then copy "[login to view URL]" and "[login to view URL]" from the "Program Files (x86)\Auto-BF" folder to %userprofile%\Marketfeeder Pro 7\profiles\Auto-BF\" folder Also copy "[login to view URL]" to "%userprofile%\MarketFeeder Pro 7\mlocator\" folder and copy "[login to view URL]" to "%userprofile%\MarketFeeder Pro 7\triggers\" folder 4. Once files have been successfully installed, a message will display "Auto-BF is successfully installed - Program will now launch" followed by launching [login to view URL] file. 5. The batch file should then exit. I've attached my batch file as a text file....please take a look to see if you can fix it to do what I want it to.

Hi, looks like you missed parentheses around all IFs. When you run the script, what kind of error do you see? I got "The syntax of the command is incorrect.". If it's the same for you, than it's easy to fix by adding right parentheses. Let me know if you need help. Regards,

I think I've already got this fixed for you for the most part, at least with the conditions to get it functioning. I'm no expert by any means, and I haven't tested the last part as yet, but expect that part should be fine, given that its just xcopy. Send me a PM, I'll send you what I have, you can test/run it, see what happens and then I can always make any final corrections.

about me: I have been in software industry for the past 16 years (worked for multiple MNCs) and have been involved in multiple phases like requirements gathering, software design, development, and building. However most part of my experience was in coding, fixing, enhancements of a product. I have been coding in C,C++, VC++ and core Java all these years. I also did scripting on need basis (in Perl, wrote Unix shell scripts, windows batch files, VBA for excel, java scripting etc.). I have looked into it, and finished the required changes as well. Pls. ping me, I can provide the updated script. Thank you.
