If and Show Message Box

[JohnM]

Hi, first time poster. Looking at other posts concerning the 'Show Message Box' function. I'm using SF 6.0.1.0 and having a small problem. I want to check for %IsWin95% and show the message box. I've checked out the other posts to see what small thing I'm doing wrong. For learning experiance, I create a small script:
IF %IsWin2000%
Show Message Box (Running Win 2000)
END IF

Clicking the OK button I always get an error: "Missing Operator before open parenthesis' There is an operator missing before the open parenthesis at posistion 39".
I've tried a cut-n-paste from other users examples here, and I recieve the same error message from most of them also.

What am I doing wrong?
thanks
john

Re: If and Show Message Box

The problem is that you should not be putting all of those lines into one IF action. Those lines should be 3 seperate actions:

1. IF (%IsWin2000%)
2. Show Message Box (Running Win 2000)
3. END IF

The only thing in your IF statement's properties should be %IsWin2000%.
