I  have a Windows PC which cannot be connected to the internet.  I have installed Symantec Anti Virus 10.1.5.5000 and want to install VD updates which I have downloaded from another machine which can be connected to the internet.

The new virus definitions are on a CD and I have written the following batch file to enable the files to be copied into the appropriate directory.

copy x:\ *.* c:\Docume~1\alluse~1\applic~1\symantec\symant~1\7.5\

(x= drive letter of CD drive)

I want to pass the CD around 30 non-networked work stations whose users have restricted permissions. 

I want to AVOID manual TRANSFER because it will mean that I have to log in myself to 30 workstations as administrator to do it.

It doesn't work!  Any suggestionsI'm no expert but try this:

copy x:\*.* "c:\Documents and Settings\Path to Dir\Symantec\Symantec\7.5\"

I just edited your code so you can put the entire directory (instead of Docume~1)
You may have to fix it up a bit.Thanks but after running batch file with amendment I get an incorrect syntax command message. Quote

copy x:\ *.* c:\Docume~1\alluse~1\applic~1\symantec\symant~1\7.5\

It doesn't work!
