Hi

I need to install an old FPD26 system to a user's machine. I've written a .bat to unzip everything from a WinZip folder and that works fine. But I want to put a batch file that sets up the DOS environment ( CD \... and all that) then invokes the exe. I've tried the folowing:

copy "c:\techprog\dcm\nfg_tick\farebase.bat" "C:\Documents and Settings\all users\desk top"

copy c:\techprog\dcm\nfg_tick\farebase.bat C:\Documents and Settings\all users\desk top

and gone the "...\Docume~1\" route (but I don't know how to 8.2ify the "all users" folder bit.

Anyway none of them seems to work. Any advice?
