runaswait problem with msiexec

[cheeseslice]

Hi,

I have been reading through the forums but I can't seem to find an answer for this problem and I'm wondering if I can get a bit of help.

DriveMapAdd ("K:",$appLocation,1,$domain & $username,$password)
RunAsWait($username, $doamin, $password, 0, @Comspec & " /c " & "msiexec /i k:\setup.msi","",@SW_HIDE)

Basically all I want to do is install a piece of software from a shared application folder onto a few workstations. When I run this script I get an error message saying that the installation pacakge could not be opened, which would suggest that the path is wrong yet if I use the following code it works:

DriveMapAdd ("K:",$appLocation,1,$domain & $username,$password)
Run("msiexec /i k:\setup.msi")

Obviously the above code won't work on remote stations as the msiexec needs to be run with my administrator credentials but I can't seem to find a way around this problem.

Thanks

Well did you try a RunAs?

DriveMapAdd ("K:",$appLocation,1,$domain & $username,$password)
RunAs($user, $domain, $passowrd, 2, "msiexec /i k:\setup.msi")

Is everything else working? Is the drive being mapped? do you get an error or do you know if its trying to run it or now?

In your code snippet, you spell the variable $domain 2 different ways. Maybe this is where the problem is?

RunAsWait($username, $doamin, $password, ...
