@ECHO OFF PAUSE IF EXIST "C:\Program Files\NexphaseV6\ECF" ( ECHO Directory exists! PAUSE ) ELSE ( MKDIR "C:\Program Files\NexphaseV6\ECF" ECHO Directory made! ) PAUSE When I run the above batch file I always get the opposite results of what I expect.
So if the directory does exist, it says "Directory Made!", and if it doesn't exist, it says "Directory Exists!"
It's basically the wrong way round - Why is this?
The batch file looks fine to me and works here (as long as you have directory creation rights in Program Files of course, so you might want to run it from an elevated (admin) command prompt).
One tip is to modify the directory existence test slightly. Instead of:
IF EXIST "C:\Program Files\NexphaseV6\ECF" you should use:
IF EXIST "C:\Program Files\NexphaseV6\ECF\" Note the trailing backslash. This ensures that if there's a file by that same name then the test won't return True.
