A SDK for my application says... set an environment variable - %myvar% - else your application wont work.

How to set it? I use Win XP 2002

I tried this...

Right Click My Compyter - Properties - Advanced - Enviromnent Variables - and set a new var as %myvar% in the 'USER' variables, and also in 'SYSTEM' variables (tried 2 different times to check it - still doesnt work).

But it doesnt work. Please help!!

The variable name is "myvar" not "%myvar%" The % signs are just how you refer to the variable in DOS

Sorry for late reply... Why havent CP send me the notification mail about this reply Confused | :confused:

The variable needs to be set as c:\program files\...\bin

Another thing is, the application doesnt want the variable to start with a drive name...

i guesss you need to put this in the environment variable.
set EPCOROOT = \Symbian\OS7_00871\bin\TechView

this is an example, yours may be different.

Any ways, i havent worked on symbian anytime, but have some personal knowledge on it.

I knew that you are working on symbian by the kind of questions you were posting.

Hi all,

someone has an idea on how to manage network connection by script or command line?
I need to connect to/disconnect from different network segments, but I could not.
I found a script on msdn that enumerates my network connections and return their status, I need some help on how to change it...
Here is it:

Main( )

function Main()
DIM objShare
DIM objEveryColl

set objShare = Wscript.CreateObject("HNetCfg.HNetShare.1")
if(IsObject(objShare) = FALSE ) then
exit function
end if

set objEveryColl = objShare.EnumEveryConnection

if (IsObject(objEveryColl) = TRUE) then

DIM objNetConn

for each objNetConn in objEveryColl
DIM objShareCfg
set objShareCfg = objShare.INetSharingConfigurationForINetConnection(objNetConn)
if (IsObject(objShareCfg) = TRUE) then
DIM objNCProps
set objNCProps = objShare.NetConnectionProps(objNetConn)
if (IsObject(objNCProps) = TRUE) then
DIM str
str = "Name: " & objNCProps.Name & chr(13) & _
"Guid: " & objNCProps.Guid & chr(13) & _
"DeviceName: " & objNCProps.DeviceName & chr(13) & _
"Status: " & objNCProps.Status & chr(13) & _
"MediaType: " & objNCProps.MediaType

WScript.Echo( str )
end if

end if
next
end if
end function

Thanks in advance!

Take a look at the next post/question... one of them is a sample of a bat file that maps network drives... Poke tongue | ;-P

Thank you, but I am talking about network CONNECTION and not network drives. I am looking for some code or some command that can connect/disconnect my network.
Have you any idea?

map network drive before logging in... (Windows XP)

Re: map network drive before logging in... (Windows XP)

Hello,

INTRODUCTION:
I've posted this same question in the visual c++ forum, but after following all the steps carefully and after having seen my program working once the user has logged in... it doesn't work when it's called from XYNTService (an application that is installed as a service and that runs applications that you can add inside an ini file (you can see it here in cp...)).

QUESTION:
I think that I'm missing an important thing because it seems that I cannot do it before logging noway... I've tried to do it via a script (a bat file) and also with a visual C++ program using the WNetAddConnection2() function.

well... what do I need to know in order to do that? Confused | :confused:

I have no clue why it works once the user has logged in and not before... (I'm passing the user name and the password into the call to "net use" (in the bat file) and into the visual C++ function...)

Thank you in advance...

Have the XYZNTService run under a specific user account. That way you can map network drives via the logon script for the service user account.

...

I'll try it, but I need one of the apps to run with capability to access the desktop...

I guess I can try to use two XYNTService : one for the mapping and the other one for the application...

Thank you... I'll try it tomorrow, for me here is 00:14 (in the night)

Re: map network drive before logging in... (Windows XP)

Well, I have not been able to wait till tomorrow...

I've tried it and it didn't worked...

I don't understand nothing...

here's the code that I'm using in the bat file that works when the session has been opened:

REM -- scriptMAPND.bat<br />
echo %DATE% %TIME% > c:\mapnetworkdrive\MAPND.log<br />
net use Y: \\server01\Folder 123456 /user:myuser /PERSISTENT:NO >> c:\mapnetworkdrive\MAPND.log<br />
echo %ERRORLEVEL% >> c:\mapnetworkdrive\MAPND.log<br />
REM EOF

If you want you can try it for yourself... this is working fine when the user has logged in... but it seems impossible to make it work just before logging in...

Well, thank you again...

Here's a quote from a MS document about Windows XP startup:

"Network initialization is now done in parallel to boot. Winlogon does not wait for network initialization."

I'm not sure if you are getting around this somehow (or even if it's possible), it's just the first thought I had when I read this. Anyways here's a link to that document from Microsoft (it's an exe that extracts out to a doc, and it's on the upper right hand side):

Good luck Smile | :)
