I am doing an installer from a CD like slayers

I have run into a number of problems including CHDMOD

? - after I copy the file say a.xml to e:\
how do I change the attributes
i have tried CHDMOD 777 e:\a.xml
can the chdmod command be used to do all the files and children files in a directory

i.e. instead of chdmod per file I will just do a chdmod on the whole directory


Second question

Can I use action scripts within the menu.xml

IF condition 1
<action>


what I want to do is only show certain menu items based on conditions

How can this be best implemented

It's CHMOD, but ATTR would probably be better, as it acts on an entire path.

ATTR F:\GAMES RW

As for ActionScripting in the XML, you can't use it in the manner you propose... the next release will be far more flexible in the kinds of things you can do - including launching an actionscript and acting on the XML before it is used.

It may be possible to use the AutoExec actionscript to manipulate the menu's XML, though.

Thanks BJ - you are a great help as usual



I am trying to create a font/exploit from a CD

Looks like attr will help me a lot

Another question though

If I have MXM running as a dash and I put in a CD with another MXM
Can I use the CD's MXM to overwrite the mxm.xml and menu.xml files


Plus
Is autoexec run everytime?

Context menus
- can I use this to solve my problems


Thanks again
