Schtasks not working properly, Windows 7

[Ztruker]

Right, just as I suspected. The dir output shows

Directory of C:\Windows\2012.10.29

so when fs1.bat does this:

cd.. (this backs up to the Windows directory)
cd results (this doesn't work since there is no results directory under Windows)
md %date% (this should create the folder under Windows)
cd %date% (and this changes to it)

How does Computer Detective call fs1.bat? Maybe it needs to pass the path to itself that fs1.bat can then change to.

I added full path to results folder in ks1.bat, so now it knows where to create %date% folder and txt files.

cd %homedrive%%homepath%\Desktop\Useful_tools (earlier osnd)\ComputerDetective\results

I'll include in instructions of program that it needs to be put on Desktop, otherwise it won't work.

But I still want your help how to schedule ks1.bat no matter where Useful_tools is located.

That's how ComputerDetective calls ks1.bat:

schtasks /create /sc minute /mo %minutes% /tn "Computer Detective" /tr %homedrive%%homepath%\Desktop\Useful_tools\ComputerDetective\tasks\ks1.bat

I can't come up with anything that will work at the moment, sorry.

Hopefully someone else has some ideas.

What about setting an environment variable that contains the path to the location you want the date-time folder created in? Something like ComputerDetectivePath. It could be part of the installation instructions. Then the fs1.bat file could do a

cd /d %ComputerDetectivePath%

Good idea. Today I showed my work and got 10. Thanks for helpful suggestions.
