*Solved* Making a autoinstall batchfile

[Brother_B]

Hello everyone.

I'm making a install cd with a bunch of drivers for my computer.

How can i make a check that i have installed a driver, so if the computer restarts i don't have to install all of the allready installed drivers.

is it possible to write and read from a txt file ?

like:
install driver 1, write 1 to the textfile.
install driver 2, write 2 to the textfile

when i start the bat file, it will read from the textfile if no textfile is found, install from driver 1.
If it finds the textfile and it reads 2 from the textfile begin installing fom driver 3.

Do you understand my question, and if so, can you help me ?

You could do something like:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
setlocal
set NextDriverLog=C:\NextDriverLog.txt
if not exist %NextDriverLog% goto :Driver1
set /p NextDriver=<%NextDriverLog%
goto :%NextDriver%
:Driver01
\Driver01\setup.exe
if not errorlevel 1 echo Driver02>NextDriverLog
:Driver02
\Driver02\setup.exe
if not errorlevel 1 echo Driver03>NextDriverLog
:Driver03
\Driver03\setup.exe
if not errorlevel 1 echo Driver04>NextDriverLog
:Driver04
\Driver04\setup.exe
if not errorlevel 1 echo Driver05>NextDriverLog
:Driver05
\Driver05\setup.exe
if not errorlevel 1 echo Done>NextDriverLog
:Done
echo Done
pause

I will try that.

Just had to change this line "if not errorlevel 1 echo Driver02>NextDriverLog"
To this "if not errorlevel 1 echo Driver02>%NextDriverLog%"

Then it worked fine.

Thanks a bunch.

Just a point: That is what happens, often, if you use similar names for variables and for files. You end up forgetting quotes or % signs.

Yeah, sometimes I think I am good enough to post code without testing it ... but if it is more than a line or 2 it usually isn't perfect.  Or maybe I do it on purpose to give the poster something to work on  so they can learn instead of just copying code?
