Ill post the info block below.   You can get the script HERE

Makes a call to newuser.xas,  so comment out or make sure the path is valid on your box (located at the bottom of the file)

The script isnt 100%,  here are the issues:

-it wont copy empty sudirectories without producing an error ??  
-wont work if the 2nd subfolder isnt the same as the first. (this is the most common problem, so i left it at that)


Here is the info block.

;#           -If all the above are ok, then all skins are checked for a MXM_SKIN.XML in the first folder.
;#          -If MXM_SKIN.XML is not found in the first folder.  A copy is performed on a duplicated subfolder
;#            of the same name and the files are copied one level up.
;#           -Calls the NewUser.xas if the MXM.XML is not found, the skinpath is not set. (bottom of file to change path)

still need to figure out why it errors when copying an empty subfolder and provide some script completion info.(leaves the user guessing if its done right now)


The file on axs has been updated to reflect the change.

[koldfuzion]

I updated the script again on AXS.

-If the mxm_skin.xml is not found in the first skin folder, it will now check for the file in a subfolder of the same name before trying to copy the nested folder.
 if found it offers to fix it.. otherwise the skin is marked as unrepairable and the user is offered to remove it, or continue with the validation.

-The user is now notified of script completion instead of wondering whether it was complete or not.

Still need to figure out how to copy empty subdirectories instead of erroring the script.

Create a dummy file in there, copy, then delete the dummy file.
