Jon,
We use Robocopy from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit to accomplish this
kind of thing. It handles all the dirty work of checking dates / sizes,
etc.

Subject: [THIN] kix script check
Hello,
Does anybody use kixtart to check for an existing file, and for
the version of that file on your users' workstations? We use kix
version 4.12 and what I am trying to do, I am sure that it has been done
many times before. However, I can not seem to get kixtart to run this
script/check successfully. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to use kixtart to run a check before an install of a
client application.
I want to check for the existence of this certain file say
xyz.exe at a specific location on each user's pc
If the file is NOT at this location I want to launch
x command which will install this client app and put the file there.
If the file is at this location, I want to check the File
Version.
If the file is at the most current version, I want
the script to end, no install is necessary.
However if the file is NOT at the most current
version, I want to launch x command which will install the client app.
...just curious if any of you use kixtart to do this? And if
so, how the heck do you write the script?
Thanks,
/jL
