I don't believe you want to PIPE the output of those commands to the next command. NO THATS what I want to do.. Per MS the Pipe:" Reads the output from one command and writes it to the input of another command" Which is exactley with I want to do.. run .exe file, then give 1 sec pause to ...

Thanx for the response Fawers ... after some Googling I rediscoverd the pipe command that does what I need to run all my files in sequence.. :Execute programs simultaneously with the pipe (|) symbol and as oneliner. XviD-Dec.exe /S | ping -n 1 127.0.0.1 >nul | taskkill /f /im XviD-Dec.exe>nul start ...

Foxi, As you know Windows always has about 3-4 ways to do the same thing... The MSNF forum uses my shorter code and it WORKS great! Your MS code is longer and requires more typing %systemroot%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /s xvid.ax vs mine regsvr32 /s %windir%\syswow64\xvid.ax besides less can be more som...

correction.. my bad

regsvr32 /s "%windir%\syswow64\xvid.ax"
regsvr32 /s "%windir%\system32\xvid.ax"

Been using that set command for years and it has always worked ..
but If IMYFB then I could use:
regsvr32 /s "%windir%\syswow64\xvid.ax"
regsvr32 /s "%windir%\syswow64\xvid.ax"

foxi ..

since its on a 64-bit system it has a 64-bit .ax then the 32-bit
so both Codecs DO need to be registered.

Foxi I revised my code with a delay as you suggested... Your code will fail on a slower machine as the task will be killed before it finishes. You need a delay before the taskkill. :install start "" XviD-Dec.exe /S /VERYSILENT :delay 1 sec ping -n 1 127.0.0.1 >nul :kill pop-up taskkill /f ...

Fawers .. FYI What on Earth is that? Why is the current directory the value for "supressmsgboxes"? 1.I know my script may be a little over the top but it does not require a file name for my .exe 2.The Supressmsgbox switch is from m 3.and CD because once everything in my directory is workin...

Foxi your the Man!! Or use this so they run concurrently. You will still need to deal with the confirmation box. start "" "%setup%" .... There was no switch to disable the box, and the supressmsgbox switch would not work either but your start "" worked! and then went to...

Thanks!!! aGerman the quotes did the trick, seems when expanding to the systemdrive you don't need the quotes but when going to the desktop thru a user account you do ,go figure
life is good again ..

Do you have 7z.exe in the System32 directory?

Thanks for the quick reply aGerman As I said the script that I posted works with the expand path as listed to the C: root drive then xcopy over to the desktop but I want to just expand Straight to the Desktop.I tried your path as suggested expand %windir%\system32\Cabs\software.cab -f:* %Homepath%\D...
