Hello all,
I am attempting to create some batch files to get around a very
irritating problem with our Intranet and Internet Explorer, and if
someone could give me any ideas I'd be happy.
For certain software CDs we provide online internally, I'd like to get a
"Point & Click" install happening from our Intranet. My current setup
for it is as follows:
If a link to an executable is clicked, the user clicks "Open" and the
following things can happen depending on the way the installer is
programmed:
1. The program launches from the current directory instead of the
directory it resides in on the server.
- To Resolve: A batch file needs to be created to change directories
properly and launch the program from its own directory.
2. The program won't run correctly from a location other than the root
of any given drive.
- To Resolve: Map a network drive letter to a shared$ directory on the
server, and launch the autorun program. Then after it has closed,
disconnect that mapped drive.
Option 2 is quite an annoyance, and also quite frequent. There's no
nice way around it. My current issues are that when I run a "NET USE
/DELETE Q:" I get:
-------------
There are open files and/or incomplete directory searches pending on the
connection to Q:.
Is it OK to continue disconnecting and force them closed? (Y/N) [N]:
-------------
How can I automatically pass a "Y" to this question? The following
command will not work:
NET USE /DELETE Q: < \someserver\somepath\y.txt
I just end up getting "No valid response was provided."
What can you suggest I do about it?
Thanks,
--
