I need to get a .bat file to copy fonts from a cd to the "C:\windows\fonts" folder on my client's PC. I do not know the config of their computer but i do know that XP is the common operating system. and ideas?

copy X:\fonts\*.ttf C:\windows\fonts I'm just having a guess at the directories here. The source (the CD drive itself) can be anything ranging from D: till Z: ... But you know the file on the source CD, example : D:\fonts\font0001.ttf You can do : if exist D:\fonts\font0001.ttf copy D:\fonts\*.ttf C:\windows\fonts if exist E:\fonts\font0001.ttf copy E:\fonts\*.ttf C:\windows\fonts if exist F:\fonts\font0001.ttf copy F:\fonts\*.ttf C:\windows\fonts ... Hi there.

yeah but it says "error : access denied" when doing those, and it copies nothing.... :(

Leave the script in the root of the CD. That way, the current directory will be the CD root. copy fonts\*.ttf %SystemRoot%\fonts If you're still getting access denied errors, your client doesn't have the ability to add files to %SystemRoot%\fonts.

That's indeed a better idea ... But if either you want to have this script run on startup of computer (with or without the CD actually in the drive), or if you want the script to do something else and/or display any kind of additional information, you'll need to have the file off the CD. Hi there.

i used "copy fonts\*.ttf %SystemRoot%\fonts" like indicated above, and got an "access denied" error message 4,200 times (once for each of the fonts to be copied)....i did this from my system (vista ultimate) and I am signed in as the administrator. here is my entire code: @echo off echo ------------------- echo Script by Damian Crow echo ------------------- echo This Program will install 4,200 new fonts to your PC. Pause. copy fonts\*.ttf %SystemRoot%\fonts echo font install Complete! Pause.

Is UAC in effect?
