Same Batch file paused on some PC but not all

[Guest]

Running the same DOS batch file on many PC, most PC will run till the end,
but few need press {Enter} key to make the batch file goes on.

Any clue what's the cause and how to fix it ?

Thank you.

- What does the batch file look like?
- What is the operating system of your PCs?

The batch file is : (the content in between the dotted line)

Those PCs that require Enter to be pressed, which is the
last line they execute?

By the way, you can simplify your code by making use
of some advanced Win2000/XP batch file commands.
Your lines

C:\AppDir\W2KSP4_src\W2KSP4_tw.exe
if %errorlevel%==1 goto file_match
if NOT %errorlevel%==1 goto file_not_match
:file_not_match
echo File not match, W2KSP4_tw.exe

are equivalent to

C:\AppDir\W2KSP4_src\W2KSP4_tw.exe || goto file_match
echo File not match, W2KSP4_tw.exe

|| means: execute this if the errorlevel was > 0
&& means: execute this if the errorlevel was = 0

It's not at the last line, and when running other batch files, even with one
as simple as :
copy path\file_a d:\detination_path
copy path\file_b d:\detination_path
copy path\file_c d:\detination_path
copy path\file_d d:\detination_path
copy path\file_e d:\detination_path
copy path\file_f d:\detination_path
copy path\file_g d:\detination_path
On some computers, sometimes (not always even on the same PC) need to press
a key to make the batch file goes on too.
Any idea ? or it's just a bug on the DOS prompt under Windows 2000 ?

I have not seen this phenomenon on any of the the machines
that I have worked on. Unfortunately this means that I am unable
to offer any further assistance. Perhaps this newsgroup can help
you: alt.msdos.batch.nt
