LOCNAMES.EXE
During the operation of software in a multi-LANGUAGE environment one often is with that
Problem confronts that one is to use located paths. There is however for
To realize administrators always simply. Sometimes one has problems with that
Multi-LANGUAGE environment, because one within the server range a English-language server
and on the Client side e.g. the German Windows NT/XP. since Windows begins 2000 gives
it more environment variables,
like %ProgramFiles%, %CommonProgramFiles%, %ALLUSERSPROFILE% etc., those those
Administrators with this task to support are. We have however the experience
made that one needs more such environment variables in the reality substantially.
Among other things one often needs the data of user names or user groups
("administrator", "power users", "administrator", "Everyone" etc.), with that
Operating system are located.
With the assistance of utility LocNames.exe one can do the desired in a batch file
Environment variables dynamically activate. For the selection of listing names uses
LocNames.exe the API function SHGetFolderPath, the Microsoft for a long time in Windows
Logo program for set UP developers urgently recommends (see e.g..
http://www.microsoft.com/winlogo/software/downloads.mspx, "Designed for Windows XP
Application specification "and" Guidelines for Application "under
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/windowsxp/downloads/default.mspx).
Since one needs all environment variables only within a batch file, gives
LocNames.exe all demanded environment variable on the console out. By bypass
the output into a temporary file this file can immediately as a batch file called
become. Thus all appropriate environment variables are activated immediately in the batch.
Example:
@echo off
LocNames.exe/CommonDirs/SkipStdDirs > %TEMP%\t.cmd
call %TEMP%\t.cmd
del %TEMP%\t.cmd
:
Afterwards different environment variables can like e.g. in the batch file.
SET OK_SOFT_COMMON_STARTMENU=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start menu
SET OK_SOFT_COMMON_PROGRAMS=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
SET OK_SOFT_COMMON_STARTUP=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
SET OK_SOFT_COMMON_DESKTOPDIRECTORY=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
:
are used. Appropriate paths point naturally to located listings of the
current computer.
We divided the different switches of the LocNames.exe into the following groups:
Switch for located account names and user groups:
· the switch / alias produces an output with the environment variables, those
different accounts of the BUILTIN domain contain. Often it is comfortable, that
Switch / alias together with the switch / short to use. Enclosed are two
Examples of the output of LocNames.exe with the switch / alias and without / short
Switch as well as with / short switches:
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_ADMINS=BUILTIN\Administrators
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_USERS=BUILTIN\Users
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_GUESTS=BUILTIN\Guests
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_POWER_USERS=BUILTIN\Power Users
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_BACKUP_OPS=BUILTIN\Backup Operators
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_REPLICATOR=BUILTIN\Replicator
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_REMOTE_DESKTOP_USERS=BUILTIN\Remote Desktop Users
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_NETWORK_CONFIGURATION_OPS=BUILTIN\Network Configuration Operators
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_ADMINS=Administrators
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_USERS=Users
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_GUESTS=Guests
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_POWER_USERS=Power Users
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_BACKUP_OPS=Backup Operators
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_REPLICATOR=Replicator
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_REMOTE_DESKTOP_USERS=Remote Desktop Users
SET OK_SOFT_ALIAS_NETWORK_CONFIGURATION_OPS=Network Configuration Operators
· the switch / cathedral users produces an output with some important domain accounts.
It is important to note that it concerns local domain accounts here. Thus
the domain is typically the computer name. The "domain name" and its SID
as additional information are spent. For example:
SET OK_SOFT_DOMAIN=OK03
SET OK_SOFT_DOMAIN_SID=S-1-5-21-1659004503-1547161642-839522115
SET OK_SOFT_USER_ADMIN=OK03\Administrator
SET OK_SOFT_USER_GUEST=OK03\Guest
Without / switch short and with the switch:
SET OK_SOFT_DOMAIN=OK03
SET OK_SOFT_DOMAIN_SID=S-1-5-21-1659004503-1547161642-839522115
SET OK_SOFT_USER_ADMIN=Administrator
SET OK_SOFT_USER_GUEST=Guest
· the switch / DomGroups produces an output with some important groups out
the local domain. Additionally, as with / cathedral users switches, become SID and that
"domain name" spent. On a workstation there are no local groups,
only on the server the switch supplies helpful information. Enclosed the example
of an output with / cathedral users switches on a workstation:
SET OK_SOFT_DOMAIN=OK03
SET OK_SOFT_DOMAIN_SID=S-1-5-21-1659004503-1547161642-839522115
SET OK_SOFT_GROUP_DOMAIN_USERS=OK03\None
Without / switch short and with the switch:
SET OK_SOFT_DOMAIN=OK03
SET OK_SOFT_DOMAIN_SID=S-1-5-21-1659004503-1547161642-839522115
SET OK_SOFT_GROUP_DOMAIN_USERS=None
· the switch / KnownNTGroups produces an output with some important waving
Known Windows NT groups. The name of the Built in domain becomes additional
spent. Enclosed two examples of the output of the LocNames.exe with that follow
Switch / KnownNTGroups and without as well as with / short switches:
SET OK_SOFT_KNOWN_GROUP_NT_AUTHORITY_DOMAIN=NT AUTHORITY
SET OK_SOFT_KNOWN_GROUP_NT_DIALUP=NT AUTHORITY\DIALUP

SET OK_SOFT_KNOWN_GROUP_NT_LOCAL_SERVICE=LOCAL SERVICE
SET OK_SOFT_KNOWN_GROUP_NT_NETWORK_SERVICE=NETWORK SERVICE
SET OK_SOFT_KNOWN_GROUP_NT_BUILTIN_DOMAIN=BUILTIN
· the switch / short serves for switching the output into a short form without that
Domain Prefix.
· the switch / KnownGroups produces an output with the important wave Known
groups. For example:
SET OK_SOFT_KNOWN_GROUP_NULL=NULL SID
SET OK_SOFT_KNOWN_GROUP_EVERYONE=Everyone
SET OK_SOFT_KNOWN_GROUP_LOCAL=LOCAL
SET OK_SOFT_KNOWN_GROUP_CREATOR_OWNER=CREATOR OWNER
SET OK_SOFT_KNOWN_GROUP_CREATOR_GROUP=CREATOR GROUP
SET OK_SOFT_KNOWN_GROUP_CREATOR_OWNER_SERVER=CREATOR OWNER SERVER
SET OK_SOFT_KNOWN_GROUP_CREATOR_GROUP_SERVER=CREATOR GROUP SERVER
· the switch / all accounts is to equate with the switches / CommonDirs
/ DefUserDirs/CurrentUserDirs,
Switch for located listing names:
· the switch / CommonDirs produces an output with different
Listing names, which are user-independent. It knows SkipStdDirs with /
Switch to be combined, around the output of ALL USER PROFILES, ProgramFiles
to avoid and CommonProgramFiles. These three environment variables become
spent, in order to provide batch files, both on Windows the 2000/XP and
also on Windows NT 4,0 are executable, with those these three important
Environment variables are not available. Enclosed an example of the output follows
of LocNames.exe with / CommonDirs switch as well as that
/ SkipStdDirs switch:

Example 1:
In the following example one has a Setup, which adds a program in
the autostarting menu. That is not desired. The Setup does not offer a possibility of switching it off.
Beyond that in tests it turned out that each user of write rights for one
File from the program directory needs.
By LocNames.exe both problems are solved. Become after the start of
Original Setup by the call of among other things two environment variables
determined: %OK_SOFT_COMMON_STARTUP%, which the autostarting menu listing
represent, and %OK_SOFT_ALIAS_USERS%, which has the name of the local user group.
The following batch file shows excluding only the work with the LocNames.exe utility.
@echo off
setup.exe /s
set exitCode=%ERRORLEVEL%
REM
REM setup create SomeProgram.lnk in Startup menu and for the file
REM "%ProgramFiles%\Some Company\Some Product\ConfigForAll.dat"
REM User needs read/write permission.
REM We solve the programs with respect of LocNames.exe and cacls.exe
REM

"%OK_SOFT_COMMON_STARTUP%\SomeProgram.lnk"
LocNames.exe /DeleteAll >%TEMP%\t.cmd
call %TEMP%\t.cmd
del %TEMP%\t.cmd
exit /b %exitCode%
It is very important that the batch file returns the delivery the same ERROR LEVEL, like
the original Setup. It makes the examination possible of the success of the installation procedure. But is
the ERROR LEVEL of the Setups into the exit code environment variable stored and becomes to
End of the batch file over the EXIT instruction as result passed on.
Example 2:
In the next example one shows, how LocNames.exe be used can, around those

In the example a program product is installed, which one for all users as very much
importantly classifies. In the enterprise the border of kind of snapping is used. All users are

REM Alternatively, one can delete here all environment variables,
REM which begin with OK_SOFT_ prefix. In the case be sure, that you

The instruction EXIT with parameter becomes only starting from Windows 2000
supported. If the batch file also under Windows NT 4,0 to
Employment to come should, is instead of EXIT e.g. SetError.exe utility
are used.

After the start of the original Setups LocNames.exe becomes as the first with the switch
/ DefUserDirs started. The paths are determined to different listings,
for default the user are relevant. Among other things is
%OK_SOFT_DEFUSER_APPDATA%. It has normally the value C:\Documents
and Settings\Default User\Application DATA and/or. C:\Dokumente and
Einstellungen\Default User\Anwendungsdaten.
Next a linkage becomes into the sublist in the batch file
Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch of this listing copies. As required
the appropriate listing is again provided:

The number of users is continued to determine, who have a profile on the computer.
User with the central profile and all system accounts (local system, local service and
Network service) are not taken in account thereby:
LocNames.exe/local user COUNT/SkipCentralProfiles/SkipAllSystem>%TEMP%\t.cmd
call %TEMP%\t.cmd
Afterwards the copy stronghold CUT routine in a FOR loop is several times called, once
per profile:
for/L %%i in (1,1,%OK_SOFT_LOCAL_USERS_COUNT%) DO call :CopyShortcut %%i
The parameter %%i becomes the values 1 to %OK_SOFT_LOCAL_USERS_COUNT% thereby also
the step 1 go through. In the copy stronghold CUT routine is addressed the parameter as
%1.
In the copy stronghold CUT routine as the first all values of the earlier call are deleted:
LocNames.exe/DELETE universe > %TEMP%\t.cmd
call %TEMP%\t.cmd
Afterwards become with the call
LocNames.exe/DirsOfLocalUser:%1/SkipCentralProfiles/SkipAllSystem > %TEMP%\t.cmd
call %TEMP%\t.cmd
the new values for the %OK_SOFT_LOCAL_USER_XXX% environment variables set, among other things.
the value for %OK_SOFT_LOCAL_USER_ADDDATA%.

"Explorer\Quick Launch %OK_SOFT_DEFUSER_APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet \"
Listing copies:
if not exist "%OK_SOFT_LOCAL_USER_ADDDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" md
