Too many parameters
I installed nmapwin 1.3.1.exe on my computer,running windows 98se.
At start-up i see the message: c:\>set path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\progra~1\grisoft\avg6;c:\program files\nmapwin\bin too many parameters
c:\>set nmapdir=c\program files\nmapwin\
i didn`t see this message after installing AVG. anti-virus
anybody know what i did wrong? i don`t have any experience with autoexec.bat,but from what i`ve read so far it looks like i need to set the path to these programs...???
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance

Last time I played with nmap for windows it would only work on NT and the like
Is this still the case.

There's a space between program and files. Try and change "program files" to progr~1.

Steve...yes....nmap works fine with windows 98.
The question is : HOW do i change the parameters?
-
You can edit autoexec.bat with notepad. Just right click on the file and choose Edit...
-
well i edited autoexec.bat like you said and it didn`t help. thanks for the tip on editing.
anyways i changed it back to what it was.
here`s what i get...i enclosed a screenshot.
-
It's the space in Program files try the DOS (FAT16) notation progra~1
that should help..
space is the token for multiple parameters, and SET PATH only takes 1

Also note there is a handy dandy utility microsoft provides:
Start -> Run -> 'sysedit'
Bypasses the annoyance of having to worry with notepad wanting to always save as '.txt'

That worked....
Thanks for all the help. :D
edit-> that sysedit IS handy as well as dandy. i never knew about it.
I`m learning so much everyday my brain is ready to explode.

Sigh... That's what I said all along :rolleyes:
Oh well. On the other hand I just cannot help but wonder why someone wants to play around with a powerful tool like NMap when they don't even grasp the simple things like editting autoexec.bat :confused:

here`s a kiss for your help Dice. I said thanks...what more do you want me to do.

I thought about this before i posted. The fact is i have read about nmap win and it`s functions and want to test it out on my computer. I am gaing a basic understanding of computer security and wanted to try nmapwin.Simple as that. and by asking a question i just learned about editing autoexec.bat

No offence bongpilot. Didn't mean to flame you ;) It's about 30 degrees Celsius at my office :( It's seems to fry my brains.

Ahh...the joys of Europe in August :)
When I had to work in Germany a summer or two ago, I kept finding excuses to go to the server/computer room...frequently...especially after visiting the Wine Fest for too long...

Now there's a thought.... Tomorrow I'm going to move my entire desk to the serverroom :p
It's been horrible and it looks like it doesn't get any better for at least another week. It's not so much the heat but the humidity is killing me.
Right, that's it. I'm leaving. I'm going to a nice bar just around the corner, sit in the sun, have an ice cold beer (maybe more) and look at all the pretty girls walking by.... :cool:

Try the very deep south of the US....Summer in Europe was hot (and it seemed even worse since few people had fans/AC), but summer in deep south is F'ing hot ...
90+ degrees F
70-95% Humidity...
Today...High 96 F, Humidity in the 80% range :rolleyes:
