I have been messing with the program for the past day and need some guidence. I want the script to verify if it has the latest of the given file and if not, to install it. So far this is what I have: sigcheck.exe -n -q "C:\myprogram.exe" |find | find "1.1.1.1" > nul if not errorlevel 1 echo version 1.1.1.1 Found!!! Im not sure what to do at this point. I know its not right, any ideas? Frank

for /f %%a in ('sigcheck -q -n "C:\myprogram.exe"') do set ver=%%a if not "%ver%"=="1.1.1.1" installer.exe

I am attempting to check the version for adobe reader: @echo off Echo Checking for Adobe 5.0.5.. for /f %%a in ('sigcheck -q -n "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe"') do set ver=%%a if not "%ver%"=="5.0.5.2001102600" echo Program Installed! pause The output says: Checking for Adobe 5.0.5.. Press any key to continue . . . Im not sure what to do from here. Looks like the code should work but not sure why it dosnt. I am goin to try it a couple other files to see what the output is. Thanks for the help Razor. -Frank

I think i got it. I took not out of the if line, if "%ver%"=="5.0.5.2001102600" echo Program Installed! That seemed to work. If i change the version from 5.0.5.2001102600 to 5.0.5.20011026001111111 It dosnt find the program and I will have it start the install program. -Frank

I have gotten it to work, just am having one issue. if the version has commas in it: 1,1,0,1 or spaces 3 . 0 It dosnt work correctly. Any thoughts?

Not off the top of my head; the quotes should prevent such behavior. I'd suggest you remove the @ECHO OFF so you can see exactly what the script is doing.

Now that I think about it, we don't have to care. for /f %%a in ('sigcheck -q -n "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe"') do set ver=%%a set ver=%ver: =.% set ver=%ver:,=.% if "%ver%"=="5.0.5.2001102600" echo Program Installed!
