Hey

I have a startup script that copies a font to the WINDOWS\font folder on our users' local machine (xp and vista mix), then adds the font entry to the registry.

It runs fine, but I still need to open the users' fonts folder as admin for the install to complete.

Can anybody help with this?

Here is the script:

echo you are using font Script

COPY \\server\share\font\ps_14.ttf %WINDIR%\Fonts\ps_14.ttf
COPY \\server\share\font\ps_15.ttf %WINDIR%\Fonts\ps_15.ttf
COPY \\server\share\font\ps_16.ttf %WINDIR%\Fonts\ps_16.ttf
COPY \\server\share\font\GillsSans Light.ttf %WINDIR%\Fonts\GillsSans Light.ttf
COPY \\server\share\font\ps_7.ttf %WINDIR%\Fonts\ps_7.ttf
COPY \\server\share\font\ps_8.ttf %WINDIR%\Fonts\ps_8.ttf
COPY \\server\share\font\ps_9.ttf %WINDIR%\Fonts\ps_9.ttf
COPY \\server\share\font\ps_A.ttf %WINDIR%\Fonts\ps_A.ttf
COPY \\server\share\font\ps_B.ttf %WINDIR%\Fonts\ps_B.ttf
COPY \\server\share\font\CALIBRI.ttf %WINDIR%\Fonts\CALIBRI.ttf

:end

(I know I need to add a "if exist" statement)

Many thanks!

I cant find any way of completing the install without opening the fonts folder, so for now have had to configure group policy to open this at logon.
