Thank you so much! It now works perfectly.

Your a star!

This code: @echo off set CURRENTVERSION=10_03_00_136 set SIGFILE=%windir%\Deploy\Salto.sig set VERSION=X IF NOT EXIST %SIGFILE% ( call :Install exit /b ) ELSE ( for /f %%a in (%SIGFILE%) do ( echo "%%a" set "VERSION=%%a" echo "VERSION AFTER %VERSION%" ) IF %VERSION%==%C...

Ok. So back to my original code. here is what i run: If i run this @echo off set CURRENTVERSION=10_03_00_136 set SIGFILE=%windir%\Deploy\Salto.sig set VERSION=X IF NOT EXIST %SIGFILE% ( call :Install exit /b ) ELSE ( for /f %%a in (%SIGFILE%) do ( echo VERSION %VERSION% echo %%a set VERSION=%%a echo...

Yeah - i am looking to see if that is the ONLY thing in a file. It should contain a version number for a piece of software. If the version number from the file is incorrect it needs to uninstall the software and install the latest version. I have obviously cut those bits out of the script. If i run ...

I still have

C:\>dfs-install-salto.cmd
VERSION X
'C:\Windows\Deploy\Salto.sig'
VERSION AFTER C:\Windows\Deploy\Salto.sig
INSTALL
Press any key to continue . . .

Thanks for the response. However the result is even wierder now

VERSION X
C:\Windows\Deploy\Salto.sig
VERSION AFTER C:\Windows\Deploy\Salto.sig
INSTALL

The file contains one line that says 10_03_00_136

Forgot to mention. If i run the code, it brings back that result. If i then remove the set line for VERSION at the top then run it in the same DOS window it works perfectly.

However it wont run without this line normally because of the null variable doesnt run with the IF statement.

Thanks
