The ELSE clause must occur on the same line as the command after the IF.
For example:

 

IF EXIST filename. (

del filename.

) ELSE (

echo filename. missing.

)

 

The following would NOT work because the del command needs to be
terminated by a newline:

 

IF EXIST filename. del filename. ELSE echo filename. missing

 

Nor would the following work, since the ELSE command must be on the same
line as the end of the IF command:

 

IF EXIST filename. del filename.

ELSE echo filename. missing

 

The following would work if you want it all on one line:

 

IF EXIST filename. (del filename.) ELSE echo filename. missing

Subject: if/else statement problem.

 

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this statement?

 

if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" (

REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" /v
silentipmode /t REG_DWORD /d 1)

ELSE (

REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" /v silentipmode /t
REG_DWORD /d 1)

 

I keep getting an error stating "else" is not a recognized command.  Is
there a better way to do this?  Running this on a W7 box.

 

Thanks

 

Jimmy

The ELSE clause must occur on the same line as the command after the IF.  For 
example:

IF EXIST filename. del filename. ELSE echo filename. missing
