I understand your explaination and read the article, BUT xxcopy was 
initially installed. Everytime the script is run on an XP machine it 
tries to install xxcopy as though it was never installed. It does 
not try to re-install xxcopy when the script runs on a Win2k or Win9x 
machine. Is there some environmental setting that needs declared in 
the script or what?
