logon script logic

I'm trying to call an MSI package from my logon script.

I only want it to run if a folder doesn't already exist.

Can I run a line like

if not exists "path"

then

run "path\file.msi"

end if

I'm sure I butchered that. Any help would be appreciated...

Try this:

@echo off
if exist "path\file.msi" "%SystemRoot%\System32\msiexec.exe"
"path\file.msi"

In case it helps someone:

I ended up doing :

IF EXIST path EXIT
path\install.msi

It has to go at the end of the script...

Your way of coding will work nicely in a batch file that
is executed as part of the logon process. However, it
has the drawback of closing an existing Command Prompt
window during testing. Here are a couple of alternatives
that get around this problem:

Option 1:
IF EXIST path goto :eof
path\install.msi

Option 2:
IF EXIST path exit /b
path\install.msi
