Nice. Are you trying to make it work on both new and old installs at the same time in the end then? Regarding start.cmd vs start.exe, I think you should be able to simply call "bin/start" which should make the shell look for .exe/.cmd/.bat/.pif/..... with that name (same for "stop" of course). It might be worth trying out to keep the complexity down. "+:: FIXME will this way of checking if the node is running work on Vista?" I'll ask bbackde about that too, once he has replied to the mail I already sent him regarding UAC elevation of start.exe/stop.exe and if our cacls stuff work on Vista. Do we have other Vista people reading this (could definitely use 1-2 more Vista testers)? "+:: FIXME do we need a new error handling section for the new .exe? Will it handle errors itself?" It will handle any error by throwing the user a messagebox describing the problem. I'll make it return 0 on success and something else on fail, in case you want to check the value. Not sure what happens if an UAC elevation promt is cancelled though (/me adds that to his Vista testing-todo). - Zero3
