I copy/move links with batch files alot.

The problem is most likely in your command...

copy /Y "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD Shrink\*.*" "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\DVD\*.*"

the destination dir MUST exist .. possibly should be
"%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD\*.*"

If have done it like this now:

Code: Select all

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

md "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD

xcopy "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD Decrypter\*.*" "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD\*.*"
xcopy "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD Shrink\*.*" "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD\*.*"

DEL /s /q "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD Shrink\*.*
rd /s /q "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD Shrink"
DEL /s /q "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD Decrypter\*.*"
rd /s /q "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD Decrypter"

DEL "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD\Uninstall*.lnk"

EXIT

What is the difference between copy /Y and xcopy?
Than 1 of the programs i use in the addon makes the UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD\ (Directory)

Is it still usefull to make a directory this way:

Code: Select all

md "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\DVD

Greats and thank

Remove the "*.*" from the destination directory.

Remove the "*.*" from the destination directory.
