    eh? Friday.

    Your original was basically:

    If it exists then
    Uninstall
    Else
    End

    Thanks guys, gave that a try and it runs correctly if it does not exist however if the files exists it does not remove it.

    This is opposite to the original script that removed it but had an error if it did not exist.

    It's a .cmd batch file.

    I have seen soom with "if exist not" and som with "if exist/ not" but I will give
    "if not exist" a go.

    Thanks

    what script engine? It's not batch file syntax nor vbs.

    The thing that jumps out at me though is the
    >> if exist not

    This would normally (in scripting I've used) be:

    >> if not exist

    started a topic Simple scripting problem.

    Simple scripting problem.

    We have a simple scripting problem (not my subject) whereby it fails if the EXE is already uninstalled. (Its works to uninstall)
    Is there an obvious error in the script?
    Can anyone suggest and enhancements?
    Thanks in advance.


    if exist c:\program files\autodesk\dwg trueview\DWGVIEWR.exe (

    GOTO UNINSTALL
    )

    if exist not c:\program files\autodesk\dwg trueview\DWGVIEWR.exe (

    GOTO END
    )

    :UNINSTALL

    msiexec/UNINSTALL {2CD6BBA0-17C8-4789-9B9B-B36F7E815F6A} /qb

    :END
