Install.bat fails #79

Closed PaoloRicardo closed 4 years ago

PaoloRicardo commented 4 years ago

Running INSTALL.BAT I get :

C:\Users\paulr\Desktop\ntvdm64>install

Checking machine

'reg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

presumably at this line:

echo --------------------------------------------- echo Checking machine echo --------------------------------------------- reg query HKLM\Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor\0 | Find /i "x86" >nul

I suppose, your Windows installation is damaged or PATH environment is not setup correctly? Windows should ship with reg.exe, it usually resides in %systemRoot%\system32 (i.e. c:\windows\system32) I suggest that you restore the missing file from your Windows installation media, if it is missing.

Thanks. OK I amended the install.bat to read:

c:\windows\system32\reg query HKLM\Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor\0 | Find /i "x86" >nul

and I get:

'Find' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I've modified my PATH variable to include c:\windows\system32. The batch file runs but I need to disable secure boot which I will now do. Thanks for the input.
