Setup the efw on a Windows system

  1. Download the run_example.bat, the efw.exe and the task_example.vbs for your system here
    • In the following introduction we will assume a 64 bit Windows system.
  2. Copy the efw_win64.exe and the run64_example.bat to the target directory on your target machine
    • In the following we use the example "C:\Program Files\file_exporter".
  3. Replace in the task_example.vbs:
    • "<Full path to run_.bat>" with "C:\Program Files\file_exporter\run64_example.bat"
  4. Replace in the run64_example.bat:
    • <Path to efw_win64.exe> with "C:\Program Files\file_exporter"
    • Setup all parameter (hint: use efw_win64.exe -h):
    • -dst, -src, -crt, -duration, -user, -pass, -crt, -zip
  5. copy the task_example.vbs into the startup directory
    • Hint: Windows Key + R to open run and type shell:startup. This will open Task Scheduler

In case it is not working it might be that either the log file or the source directory can not be accessed by the executing user. In this case please make sure the log file and the src dirctory have the correct read & writing permissions.
A tutorial how to set permissions can be found at: Microsoft answers
