I’m trying to create a bat file to copy a dll to paste in

  • 0

I’m trying to create a bat file to copy a dll to paste in the windows foler, the file already exists in windows but I want to print my own.

The code I have is:

DIR \Windows\shdoclc.dll
icacls \Windows\shdoclc.dll
ATTRIB -R -S -H \Windows\shdoclc.dll
COPY \Temp\shdoclc.dll \Windows\shdoclc.dll
pause

I can copy/paste it manually from windows ce, everywan, or activesync, but the command terminal doesn’t work because of the file location, the file is hidden/ read only/ and a system file, the attribute command doesn’t work.

and it gives me an error every time the \windows\shdolc.dll is involved, but if I change the file name or location the copy works fine.

I think it’s a problem with the permision of the command prompt, don’t nkow how to change it though.

    Windows has that file as a protected file, so will restore it whenever it is changed.
    Here’s a cheat to get around that (unfortunately, I don’t have ce to test, only XP)

    COPY \Temp\shdoclc.dll %systemroot%\system32\dllcache
DEL %systemroot%\shdoclc.dll

    This copies your version into the cache, and when the actual file is deleted, windows restores the version it has backed up in the dllcache.
