need to speed up a batch file

i know iv been posting a lot in this forums for batch files but you need to ask questions to learn but i just completed a code for loading anti virus installers with option to install of my removable drive(the one iv been doing everything on for batch files)
here is the code i just finished a few minutes ago:

i put in the pause so i can confirm the close out the problem is how long it take to load the installers after the first one

note on the computer im currently using it is a usb 1.0 port but it shouldnt slow it down this much

ps:after posting i realized that my : p was making a so to clear up its colon p

 

At first to avoid potential errors change your code:

Code:

@echo off &setlocal
:start
set/p "cho=do you want to install advanced spyware remover free edition?(Y/N) "
if /i "%cho%"=="Y" goto install_1
if /i "%cho%"=="N" goto prompt_1
goto start

:install_1
"\things that can wait\computer maintainence\anti-virus\ASRLSetup.exe"

:prompt_1
set/p "cho=do you want to install avira antivir personal free edition?(Y/N) "
if /i "%cho%"=="Y" goto install_2
if /i "%cho%"=="N" goto prompt_2
goto prompt_1

... and so on.
That means:
-don't use spaces in labels, replace it using underlines or something else, the reason is that the batch file can use the name just until the first space
-use quotation marks because the comparison will give an error if you press return without any input
-use option /i to ignore upper and lowe case
-what would happen if you would input an "a" for exemple ..., thats why better jump back in such cases

In variable %~d0 you can find the drive of the batch file. If your batch is placed on your stick you could write

Code:

"%~d0\things that can wait\computer maintainence\anti-virus\ASRLSetup.exe"

Indeed I can't help hurry up your files. The speed is given by your usb drive and your usb port.

 

thank you for the help just one question do i countinue the code after start or after set/p? so set/p... or start...

 

It jumps to the install label if you input y and to the prompt label if you input n. Otherwise it will jump back before set /p so that the set /p - line is the first one that will be proceeded.

 

so countinue the pattern with set/p...

 

Yes in case you don't enter y or n. Find out by entering something else.

 

i must be doing somthing wrong i try to countinue the code and its running me in circles

 

Okay, figure out if this is running the correct way:

Code:

@echo off &setlocal
:start
set/p "cho=do you want to install advanced spyware remover free edition?(Y/N) "
if /i "%cho%"=="Y" goto install_1
if /i "%cho%"=="N" goto prompt_1
goto start

:install_1
"\things that can wait\computer maintainence\anti-virus\ASRLSetup.exe"

:prompt_1
set/p "cho=do you want to install avira antivir personal free edition?(Y/N) "
if /i "%cho%"=="Y" goto install_2
if /i "%cho%"=="N" goto prompt_2
goto prompt_1

:install_2
"\things that can wait\computer maintainence\anti-virus\avira_antivir_personal_en.exe"

:prompt_2
set/p "cho=do you want to install comodo internet security?(Y/N) "
if /i "%cho%"=="Y" goto install_3
if /i "%cho%"=="N" goto prompt_3
goto prompt_2

:install_3
"\things that can wait\computer maintainence\anti-virus\CIS_Setup_3.11.108364.552_XP_Vista_x32.exe"

:prompt_3
set/p "cho=do you want to install malwarebytes anti-malware?(Y/N) "
if /i "%cho%"=="Y" goto install_4
if /i "%cho%"=="N" goto prompt_4
goto prompt_3

:install_4
"\things that can wait\computer maintainence\anti-virus\mbam-setup.exe"

:prompt_4
set/p "cho=do you want to install Rising AntiVirus 2008?(Y/N) "
if /i "%cho%"=="Y" goto install_5
if /i "%cho%"=="N" goto prompt_5
goto prompt_4

:install_5
"\things that can wait\computer maintainence\anti-virus\RPCDOC.exe"

:prompt_5
echo end of installer list, have a nice day
pause
