Check folder exists
Hi,
I want to check existence of folder, and if it does not exist, then my script should check another folder. there is bug in my bat - script, i am not able to find it.
In below script, if folder exist and if folder does not exist, in both the cases, it is showing echo message.

How about something like this?
IF EXIST C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\NUL GOTO INSTALLMSI
IF EXIST C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\NUL GOTO INSTALLMSI
IF EXIST C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\NUL GOTO INSTALLMSI
ECHO Install Dotnet
:INSTALLMSI
ECHO Install your-msi
PAUSE

Scratching around the depths of my memory here but don't you have to test 'nul' for folder existence? As in
Why do this nonsense in batch, anyway, when VBScript is light years more capable?
if exist c:\test\nul goto whateverWhy do this nonsense in batch, anyway, when VBScript is light years more capable?

My project std is using batfile. I have already written vbscript for the same.
path1 = strsystemroot & "\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727"
path2 = strsystemroot & "\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0"
path3 = strsystemroot & "\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5"
If fso.folderexists (path1)=0 AND fso.folderexists (path2)=0 AND fso.folderexists (path3)=0 then
i = WshShell.run (pre1,1,true)
end if

So:
- did you try adding 'nul'?
- when is the project leader scheduled for his lobotomy?

I know I am wrong, in below code, I used logic which you are expecting. Problem is if folder exists or not exists it goes to :test1 and shows echo.
@echo off
Setlocal
Set current=%~dp0
set path1="%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\NUL"
set path2="%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0"
set path3="%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5"
if not exist C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\NUL GOTO TEST1
:TEST1
ECHO ABSENT
PAUSE

just off the top of my head here...
maybe put an EXIT before the :TEST1, cause what happens now is:
file does not exist -> goes to :TEST1
file does exist -> do nothing and go to next line which is... :TEST1 (tadaa)
and like Ian said, what are you doing messing around with batch files in the first place?

Hi vbscab, and pjgeutjens, do u mean below logic...
@echo off
Setlocal
Set current=%~dp0
if not exist C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\NUL GOTO TEST1
ECHO Install msxml1
ECHO Install your-msi1
PAUSE
Exit
:TEST1
if not exist C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\NUL GOTO TEST2
ECHO Install msxml2
ECHO Install your-msi2
PAUSE
Exit
:TEST2
if not exist C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\NUL GOTO TEST3
ECHO Install msxml3
ECHO Install your-msi3
PAUSE
Exit
:TEST3
ECHO Install Dotnet
ECHO Install msxml4
ECHO Install your-msi4
PAUSE
Exit

tbh I don't have a clue what you're actually trying to do, just make sure your script doesn't fall through to the same GOTO points whatever the outcome of your checks is.
and P.S. goto scripting makes me shiver violently [:'(]

Actually, my package requires, atleast dotnet 2.0. It will work with 2.0, 3.0, 3.5. So if all three versions are absent then, it should install dotnet and my application

Great man...your logic is simpler, and better...as well as it is working fine.
Thanks to VBScab also. [:)]
cheers!
