FixAttr.bat - batch file to fix 'missing' files issue
Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:14 am
Here's a batch file to help with a problem that some users occasionally encounter with Scope installations under Windows XP (especially when installed from CD). The batch file will prompt you for input and give you examples, you must supply your scope path.
Basically what it does is unset the H and R (hidden & read only) attributes that sometimes get set on odd files installed by the Scope installer, typically dsp files and the like. I included simple error checking to make sure you typed the path correctly (although it only checks to make sure that the path exists).
Download the file from the links below, then run the batchfile from anywhere on your Scope computer and follow the prompts.
--Valis
From my site in zip format (avoids some firewall/antivirus apps complaining about the batchfile inside):

(edit: fixed the html that wound up in this message from a recent forum conversion, and added a 2nd link with the file zipped)
