Running Inoculan's Avupdate on peer-peer network

[1Gooner]

I want to run avupdate (via a batch file) on a win95 peer-peer network. Have tried to run from command line after editing avupdate.ini, but no joy. Anyone any ideas why this would not work?

Use a login script instead of a batch.

Add the following lines to your login script,
open notepad and type:

@echo off
REM Sample Windows NT Login Script for AVUpdate
REM Please replace &quot;<updateserver>&quot; in this file with the name of
REM the NT Server designated as you update server.

If &quot;%OS%&quot; == &quot;Windows_NT&quot; goto skip
If NOT &quot;%WINBOOTDIR%&quot; == &quot;&quot; goto 95

echo Running AVupdate using WIN3x syntax
net use v: \updateserver\cheyupd$
v:\avupdate.exe
net use v: /d
goto skip


:95
REM
REM Run AVupdate using WIN95 syntax
REM
echo Running using WIN95 syntax
\\updateserver\cheyupd$\avupdate.exe

:skip
echo Thank you for using AV-Update


When you're ready save the file as login.bat

If it still does'nt work, try to &quot;fake&quot; the computer to use one PC as Server, and the other one as Client.
by the way, are you using the same operating systems on both PC's ?
Maybe you must download the update for AVupdate to make it work, it can be found at:
