Batch file request ...

Hello,

I need bat file to detect xp or win7 (32 or 64) and then to copy
ocx and dll files to appropriate system windir and afther copy to register them.

my ocx files are in folder named OCX, and bat file is in main dir C:\SomeDir

This is my bat file for register ocx files, but I dont know how to copy them and
how to determine what OS is it, 32 or 64, System32 or SYSWOW64 ...

Code:

@echo off
cls
Title MasteRG 2010-2012
echo.
echo.
echo  Installing ocx/dll files !

Here is a possible way:

Code:

@@echo off

if exist %windir%\syswow64\nul goto x64

:x86
set systempath=%windir%\system32
goto register

:x64
set systempath=%windir%\syswow64
goto register

:register
echo %systempath%
set systempath=

pause

In short, it simply checks for existence of SysWOW64, which is present on x64 system but not on x86. From there it just sets a variable to the proper target path and then jumps to the installation code, which does the work on that target path (here just print it, but the real work goes there).
Note that for what I've written I'm assuming that all DLLs and OCXs are 32 bits libraries. In x86 systems they obviously go to system32, but on x64 should og to syswow64. But if any library is x64, on x64 OSs they must go to system32 and fail on x86.
Of course, you need to run the bat file under an admin account for it to succeed.

I dunno' what Windows 8 is.

It's 6.2, the very same as Win 2012 too.

Since the OP only requested 32/64 bits, checking for SysWOW64 should suffice (quick and dirty way, but works), but he never cared about the version anyway in his post.
