Excecute DOS Command in Run

[misterc9]

Hello,

I am having a problem getting the right syntax for the following command to be executed in the Run

The command below will execute the uninstall program in DOS but I want to be able to do this in AutoIT.

C:\WINDOWS\IsUninst.exe -f"C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\UninstFA.isu" -c"C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\bin\UninstCC.dll"

Some syntax I have tried

RunWait("IsUninst.exe -f""C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\UninstFA.isu" -c"C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\bin\UninstCC.dll")

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c" & "IsUninst.exe -f""C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\UninstFA.isu" -c"C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\bin\UninstCC.dll")

I either get Unterminated String or Missing Separator Charactor, help!! Thank you.

Try it this way (just putting single quotes around the whole string):

$sExtDir = 'C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management'
$sExtCmd = 'C:\WINDOWS\IsUninst.exe -f"C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\UninstFA.isu" -c"C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\bin\UninstCC.dll"'
RunWait($sExtCmd, $sExtDir)

Note the use of the original full path to the executable.

Yes that did the trick. I also went back and added the single ticks in the beginning and end of the syntax and that also worked, didn't know about the single tick, thanks again.

RunWait('IsUninst.exe -f"C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\UninstFA.isu" -c"C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\bin\UninstCC.dll"')
