Windows 7 Read Registry Value

[prdeepkumawat]

I have created a batch file where I have to copy some files from root location to a software installation location. for example this is the command

mkdir "C:\Program Files\MySoftware\NewFolder"
xcopy NewFolder "C:\Program Files\MySoftware\NewFolder" /s /e /y

Now plz let me know If my installation path is different than C drive, How can I read this. I m very week in scripting. I am a network engineer not a software engineer. So kindly describe in details. Your reply is appreciated.

Yes, you can read the path from registry if it exists there. To do this in batch file use reg query.
For usage write reg query /? in command prompt (cmd).
Good luck!
