I can't see the var from an echo

#1 Post by Docfxit » 16 Oct 2022 23:23

I have an echo on line 174 that I don't see when I run the batch script.
I do have:
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
On line 94
This is what it looks like when I run the script:
UVNCInstall.jpg

This is my batch file:

Code: Select all

@echo Off
:: The following code will make sure this is running as Administrator
(
>nul 2>&1 %__APPDIR__%net.exe session
) || (
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%tmp%\uac.vbs"
echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~snx0", "%*", "%~sdp0", "runas", 1 >> "%tmp%\uac.vbs"
) && (
"%tmp%\uac.vbs" && exit /b
)
if exist "%tmp%\uac.vbs" del /f /q "%tmp%\uac.vbs"
:: The Above code will make sure this is running as Administrator

:: Disclaimer:  Use at your own risk.  I have tested this on my PC running XP Pro.
::
:: To run:  Copy all required files listed below to the remote PC
::          Run this Batch file on the remote PC
::          Wait for it to complete.  This could take a couple minutes.
::          View remote PC with the new VNC viewer.
::
::   Note:  If the VNC service is not running you will get an error.
::                        You should ignore it.
::   Note:  This does produce a screen that says 
::                        "Warning:  This machine has no default password set"

::   Thanks to extremesanity on the ULtraVNC forum for some of these instructions.
::          I wanted to put all instructions in one place.

::   Note:  You can get VNC_UltraVNC-102-Setup.exe at:
::                 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=63887
::   Note:  You can get VNCsaveinf.inf & VNCsetup.reg by running the following:

::                 This will save the main config file to a path of your choosing.
::          2. Go through the setup changing config settings to how you want it installed (language, program path, etc).
::             Make sure to make the following selections
::                 UltraVNC Server
::                 Mirror Driver
::                 DSM Encryption Plugin
::             and on the additional tasks page select Register UltraVNC as service
::             DO NOT select Start or restart UltraVNC Service
::             select Configure MS-Logon II (If you want it)
::             DO NOT select Configure Admin Properties
::             DO NOT select Clean old VNC registry keys
::             Don't worry about the ACL settings, we will change those in a bit
::          3. When it's finished go to the start menu and click on UltraVNC > UltraVNC Server
::             Click on the show default settings.
::             Make all the changes you want applied across all computers here. 
::                 The password, MS Logon groups, and misc settings need to be set.
::          4. If you don't have the file rc4.key from a previous install create one by:
::             Putting a check mark into the box DSM Plugin.
::             Select the plugin.
::             Select Config.
::             Select 128 bit
::             Select Gen Key    
::          5. If you want to use MS-Logon II:
::                 In DOS in c:\program files\ultravnc
::                 Type in MSLogonACL.exe /e c:\someaclconfigfile.acl - this will create your ACL file
::                 close DOS 
::             Note:  I have not included this in the install bat file.  I have not used it yet.
::                    Someone else might be able to comment on how to use it.
::          6. Start > run > regedit
::                 Export the hkey_local_machine > software > ORL key to reg file VNCsetup.reg
::          7. Edit the VNCsaveinf.inf file you created in steps 1 & 2 above, 
::                 and put this in for the acl and reg paths
::                      AclFile=c:\PathToThisFolder\someaclfile.txt
::                      PropertiesFile=c:\PathToThisFolder\VNCsetup.reg
::   Note:  You can get SecureVNCPlugin64.dsm   (ver. 1.1.8) at:
::                 http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ultravnc/UltraVnc-101-Setup.zip?download
::          1. Install the above file only selecting SecureVNCPlugin64.dsm
::          2. After saving the SecureVNCPlugin64.dsm you can delete the rest that was installed.  
::          
::          Save the required files listed above to a scratch folder. 
::          The files are all created. Shut down VNC. You can uninstall it if you don't need it.

Re: I can't see the var from an echo

#2 Post by aGerman » 17 Oct 2022 00:33

As always - if you update a variable value in a parenthesized block, and you want to access this value in the same block, you will need to enable delayed expansion and enclose your variables into exclamation points rather than percent signs. Proper line indentation helps to recognize whether you're in such a block.

Code: Select all

if 1==2 (
  rem foo
) else (
  set "var=hello"
  echo %var%
)
vs.

Code: Select all

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
if 1==2 (
  rem foo
) else (
  set "var=hello"
  echo !var!
)

That's great to know.
I've see the exclamation points but I've never known why or the parameters for the requirement.
Thank you very much for explaining it to me.

I'd like to know why I don't see all lines echo'ed to the console.

Re: I can't see the var from an echo

#4 Post by aGerman » 17 Oct 2022 13:57

I'm not familiar with UltraVNC. And in particular I'm not familiar with its command line syntax. A quick research in the internet suggests to enclose the path in quotes, like so:
/loadinf="!inffile!"
Also, in the same source I found that your
/Very silent
should rather be
/verysilent
at least without the space. For some tools command line switches may be also case-sensitive.

Thank you for the reply...

I tried:

Code: Select all

start /wait "%wkdir%%FileName%" /loadinf="!inffile!" /verysilent
This is the result:
VNCInstallBatError2.jpg
VNCInstallBatError2.jpg (45.85 KiB) Viewed 8911 times
I'm getting the same result with quotes.

I origionally had:
/verysilent
This page says:
/Very silent
https://uvnc.com/docs/uvnc-server/48-uv ... ation.html

After I get it running I'll change it to what ever works.

Because it shows:
The system cannot find the drive specified
I'd like to see all cmds echo'ed to the window. Is there a way I can see that?

Remove the @echo off. Alternatively update off to on.
Furthermore you can turn it off and on again at any position in your script.

Now that I've taken a closer look at your screenshot it turns out that you have a lot of spaces after the .inf extension.
One of the reasons why you should prefer

Code: Select all

set "var=value"
to

Code: Select all

set var=value

Note
1) the quotes in the SET statements to get rid of trailing spaces
2) the "" after START because the first quoted string in a START command is treated as window title

Why not just writing a few lines in a separate script to figure out how the syntax has to look like?

I created a small bat file to include the minimum so i could see what wasn't working. I was able to see the lines that were executed and fixed the problems.

It's running now.

You may have to map the remote server to a network drive first.

Code: Select all

net use Z: \\192.168.168.7\

if not exist "%FileName%" (
	set "file=!file!!lf!   ?    %FileName%"
	xcopy /y /f "Z:\Dnload\VNC\%FileName%" "%wkdir%"

I don't know. If you're sure the network resource is properly shared and existing, something like this might help:

I tried to many different network setting.
Nothing worked.
I tried connecting manually, not in a bat file:

net use Z: \\192.168.168.7

I figured out it has to have a folder of some kind.

net use Z: \\192.168.168.7\Dnload\VNC

Then I found I had to remove the Mapped Network drive.

This is what I put into the bat file:
net use * /d /y
net use Z: \\192.168.168.7\Dnload\VNC


Thank you very much for your help.
