Simple scripting problem.

[quickweb]

eh? Friday.

Your original was basically:

If it exists then
Uninstall
Else
End

true:

if exist c:\program files\autodesk\dwg trueview\DWGVIEWR.exe (
msiexec/UNINSTALL {2CD6BBA0-17C8-4789-9B9B-B36F7E815F6A} /qb)

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.

You don't need the first three lines.

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

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
