Brilliant that was it, thank you

Thanks everyone for the replies, Im a little closer if I change the script to use ShellExecuteWait like this ShellExecuteWait (@ProgramFilesDir & "\M93\devcon.exe", "update " & chr(34) & @ProgramFilesDir & "\M93\Net\Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260\Netwsw02.inf" & chr(34) & " PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B2",@SW_HIDE ) it all works fine, but im back to my original problem I had just simply running a Bat file, - the command window appears I have used in the past (loooong time ago) files like CMDOW and Quiet to hide this type of window for silent installs, but I know that's not a good solution, any help please

I actually tried that at first but I want to do this as part of a silent install and its easier to hide the window using autoit

Hi All, I am trying to convert a snip of code I use in a BAT file to autoit, but im falling down at the formatting of the "" and ' etc. this is my BAT line "C:\Program Files (x86)\M93\devcon.exe" update "C:\Program Files (x86)\M93\Display\Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600\kit64ib.inf" "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0412" and my attempt at a AutoIT line RunWait (@ComSpec & " /k " & @ProgramFilesDir & "\M93\devcon.exe" & " " & "update" & " " & @ProgramFilesDir & "\M93\Display\Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600\kit64ib.inf" & " " & "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0412","", @SW_MAXIMIZE) I know im close, but not just there. Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks Both, im sorry my example of my code above was bad. Ill try to explain what im doing. I want to open the startup folder for the logged on user but run the script as a admin So I want to run Run("explorer.exe " & @StartupDir) and this opens the folder C:UsersLOCALUSERNAMEAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup but when UAC kicks in and I enter the admin details. It doesnt open this folder. In A Ideal world the UAC wouldnt kick in until the func is called.

I have written a script and used the code Func Print() #RequireAdmin Run(@COMSPEC & " /c RunDll32 shell32.dll,SHHelpShortcuts_RunDLL PrintersFolder") EndFunc as one of the functions. But I only want the Admin to be required when the function is called and not when I run the script as this affects other parts of my script. Is this possible....any ideas ? Bodman

Thanks for the help everyone, that sorted it, Really appreciate it Bod

Thanks, I actually got it working by using a different WMI Class But I have found that when I run it on some of our computers I just get the answer D57CA7226232 but on others I get 2 answers D57CA7226232 and blank (Empty Message box) This is because on those clients I have VID_152D&PID_2338 and also VID_152D&PID_2338&MI_00 how do I ignore the null value or the data from VID_152D&PID_2338&MI_00. I have tried NOT LIKE in the Query, but it dosnt like that ; Generated by AutoIt Scriptomatic $wbemFlagReturnImmediately = 0x10 $wbemFlagForwardOnly = 0x20 $colItems = "" $strComputer = "localhost" $Output="" $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $strComputer & "\root\CIMV2") $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_PnPEntity WHERE DeviceID LIKE '%VID_152D&PID_2338%' ", "WQL", _ $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly) body() func body() If IsObj($colItems) then For $objItem In $colItems ConsoleWrite ($Output)$Output = StringTrimRight($objItem.DeviceID, 1) ; trim trailing quote $Output = "" & StringTrimLeft($Output, StringInStr($Output, "\", 2, -1)) & @CRLF Msgbox(1,"WMI Output",$Output) Next Endif endfunc

Ive tried every permutation of this that I can and unfortunately I still cant get any output although it definitely seems on the right tracks

Thanks for that, the script actually outputs the whole of the USBControllerDevice (22 lines see below) but I only want the information for 1 device (Dependent: \\COMPUTER\root\cimv2:Win32_PnPEntity.DeviceID="USB\\VID_152D&PID_2338\\ ) Any idea how I can limit it to that. Thanks in advance Bod

Hi All, I have generated a WMI query using scriptomatic, but im trying to only output the information after the Dependent: \\COMPUTER\root\cimv2:Win32_PnPEntity.DeviceID="USB\\VID_152D&PID_2338\\ So Basically I want to run my script and all to appear is the answer D57CA7226232 Any help greatly appreciated, I've gone around and around trying to solve this AccessState: Antecedent: \\COMPUTER\root\cimv2:Win32_USBController.DeviceID="PCI\\VEN_8086&DEV_283A&SUBSYS_101017AA&REV_02\\3&18D45AA6&0&D7" Dependent: \\COMPUTER\root\cimv2:Win32_PnPEntity.DeviceID="USB\\VID_152D&PID_2338\\D57CA7226232" NegotiatedDataWidth: NegotiatedSpeed: NumberOfHardResets: NumberOfSoftResets ; Generated by AutoIt Scriptomatic $wbemFlagReturnImmediately = 0x10 $wbemFlagForwardOnly = 0x20 $colItems = "" $strComputer = "localhost" $Output="" $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $strComputer & "\root\CIMV2") $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_USBControllerDevice", "WQL", _ $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly) If IsObj($colItems) then For $objItem In $colItems $Output = $Output & "Dependent: " & $objItem.Dependent & @CRLF if Msgbox(1,"WMI Output",$Output) = 2 then ExitLoop $Output="" Next Else Msgbox(0,"WMI Output","No WMI Objects Found for class: " & "Win32_USBControllerDevice" ) Endif Thanks Bod

Brilliant thank you, I was going around the bend trying to work this out I looked at ReDim, but wasnt sure how to apply it. Thanks again Bodman

Hi All, I am trying to read the regkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and display the result in a array. I nearly have this working as it builds a array of 2 columns and the correct length but only the last entry of the registry is displayed. Can anyone point me in the right direction please #include <array.au3> Global $RegTot="" For $i = 1 to 100 $var = RegEnumVal("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", $i) If @error <> 0 then ExitLoop $var1 = Regread("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", $var) ConsoleWrite ($var) ConsoleWrite ($var1) Global $Regtot[2][$i] = [[$Var], [$Var1]] Next _ArrayDisplay($Regtot, "Output", -1, 1) $RegTot = ""

Thank you Ive spent ages banging my head with this. I really appreciate your help (again) Bod

do you mean like this MsgBox(0, "_ArrayToString()", _ArrayToString($aResult[1][0])) as im still getting a blank...sorry arrays confuse the hell out of me
