That's what I thought. Luckily XP is backward compatible so using "command" should work for everyone!

The new version (2.2) has this fixed, plus it will always use the largest INI file if it finds more than one. It will also be more selective about what it archives (so you can use an output location that is not unique).

Also, rather than adding to the previous archive (which did happen if there was already one there), any previous files are deleted to give a fresh backup.

@martyrs: I think you were too quick and grabbed the code which I accidently pasted too soon. It still has a small bug, so please can you copy the code again to ensure you have the correct version. Glad you like it!

@judas: The problem is with cleaning up after itself. It tries to delete the files it's moved to the output location. Shouldn't be a problem for you, but I'll try to get it fixed soon so it cleans up properly.

@Teknojnky: For some reason either the zip component hasn't installed (you can do this manually by typing the following command in your Run command: regsvr32 %windir%\XZip.dll) or your security settings are not allowing the script to communicate with it.

New version (2.3) does a much better job of cleaning up after itself. And doesn't delete any files/folders it hasn't created. It also includes the restoration script in the archive (as it should!)

New version below!

N.B. Don't forget to have XZip.dll in the Scripts folder if you are running this for the first time!

Cheers!

It just occurred to me that I should mention I got XZip.dll from http://xstandard.com/ where there is full documentation with examples, should anyone else wish to include such functionality in there scripts.

Hmm problem trying to get XZIP.dll, I simply right clicked on the link to download and put it in my scripts folder. When I ran MM and tried to use the script it failed to register the dll. Looking at it, it turned out that it was actually a HTML file.

So I followed the link instead and the page said the following:

The page you have requested, www.dork.com/trix/files/XZip.dll , is missing or has been removed.

If this was your website and you did not pay your $5 fee before Oct 31st 2003, then please check this link for more details.

That's because Trixmoto moved to a new website ( http://www.trixmoto.net ).

If you don't want to wait until he fixes that broken link, you can get the zip component XZip.dll from http://www.xstandard.com/download.asp?product=zip

Cheers

Thanks, I think I'll wait Steegy. Regardless of what they say I'd prefer to not give my email address away.

So get some throw-away address's from hotmail, yahoo or gmail. Use them once or twice and then never use them again... I've been doing that for 6+ years..
