AFAIK - batch to exe "converters" do not convert them, just pack them inside an exe as is and extracts them to a folder of choice or more likely the %temp% folder. That being my experience with working with them a few years ago, could be different now.
Depending on how such a tool works, some complex batch files might not make it. Lost in translation, one could say. Some batch compilers are simple wrappers, but others may actually try to convert it to native PE code.
When starting Check.bat without Admin rights the following happens: System in OOBE Grace: CMD-Window opens and TranscodedWallpaper.jpg is copied then it fails to copy theme Process cycles infinitly and has to be closed manually System in Notification with rearms left Rearm will fail, as it needs elevated privileges System in Notification with no rearms left Process will fail, as writing IR6.bat to system drive requires elevated privileges "Access Denied" error for all lines which try two write in IR6.bat For these reasons it makes no sense to me to create the tasks without the elevated privileges .
It has always worked perfectly for very long time, not invalidating your efforts guys, just wanted to state that MD and I had that highest and in testing we changed it for a reason that maybe won't show up immediately but might later Can't we make the whole check run as admin not just parts of it? Thanks for your help will go test now
As said, Check.bat must be started with Admin Rights, as in other case it won´t run properly. Adding /rl highest would be the easiest way. Without that it will fail, due to task by default starts with restricted rights. On a system in Notification and no rearms left Check.bat, started with restricted rights, will fail to write IR6.bat to Systemdrive, what will the render the whole process completely useless.
Your reply makes me happy, perhaps this why I created D420 group, otherwise DB sounds like a good idea and something new to learn as co-developers
Created a dropbox folder for sharing. To join it would need you to PM me an email adress to invite you .
Hey S77, noticed this got left out! Code: CLS schtasks /query | FINDSTR /I "IR6" >NUL IF ERRORLEVEL 1 ( echo. ) ELSE ( echo IR6 is already installed... ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul GOTO start ) See the first page link dl for where this goes! If there we're any codes that we're left out let me know ok? You have to uninstall it first. That was my design and thus user can't install and uninstall only one! I want the design to stay the same for the regular IR6 install But for the check install it will use the message box and give choice yes or no which uninstalls or installs Thanks Also let's remove the remarks and have just one space between functions I use to see the IR6.bat file in the system drive, then sometime MD put it in the hidden partition, now I don't see it at all before reboot? Where is that sucker...lol Also found the msg.vbs in my user folder on desktop...lol
Though the OS only sets your wallpaper to a solid black color, this actually disturbs other things: -Invalidates your currently set theme, if any (changes it to Unsaved theme). -Cancels any Desktop slideshow, if you had one (truncates the hidden slideshow.ini that's in the same directory the transcoded wallpaper is). It may be themes can only be selected if they are in the special themes directory.
Not shure why, but afaik i did put in your last version i downloaded. Maybe simply put it back into the code . Therefor the dropbox was created .
