Run $cmd does not give same results as cmd box

[sno]

Why cant i get this simple codesample working, yes it does wat it must do but the result are not good. Kix32 gives me "ERROR : failed to find/open script!" even when i hardcode the same command line in de code it doesnt work, why?

If $CmdLine[0] < 2 Then Exit(1)

runKix($CmdLine[1], $CmdLine[2])


Func runKix($context, $script)      
        If $context == "/adm" Then
            
            RunAsSet("administrator", @LogonDomain, "password")
            $cmd = "kix32.exe " & $Script
            
MsgBox(4096, "Debug", $cmd , 10)    
    
        ; 0 -> Do not display RunWait errors
            Opt("RunErrorsFatal", 1)

            RunWait($cmd, ".")
                
        ; Reset user's permissions
            RunAsSet()
            Exit(0)
        EndIf
EndFunc

By what method are you using, to run this. Compiled, editor, right-click?

What does the msgbox report. Is it the full script name, that you would expect?

Yes, also tried variation as

RunAsSet("administrator", @LogonDomain, "password")
            $cmd = "start " & @LogonServer & "\netlogon\kix32.exe " & $Script
            $cmd1 = (@ComSpec & " /c " & $cmd)

Any idea?

ANd yes i know that compiling the password is bad

With RunWait()

- You don need to specify a full path to the file. Leave out the working directory parameter, if not needed.

With Comspec.

- Double check your start command. The start command has changed of late? Now has title parameters etc. You may need to use: Start "" path\file.exe ?

You could try this with your last try

RunAsSet("administrator", @LogonDomain, "password")
            $cmd = 'start "" "' & @LogonServer & '\netlogon\kix32.exe" "' & $Script & '"'
            RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $cmd)

Almost :-)

$cmd = '"' & @LogonServer & '\netlogon\kix32.exe" "' & $Script & '"'
            
MsgBox(4096, "Debug", $cmd , 10)    
RunWait($cmd, ".", @SW_MAXIMIZE )

This does the trick tho, man many thx for that """""" stuf!!

Any idea where i can read about the syntax used (double "" and so on)

i was looking for it in the help earlyer.

I can point you, in the right direction.

It is located in AutoIt Help. Look in Contents, then open the Language Reference topic folder, then click on Datatypes. Or see online here.

Strings:

Basically, you can put double quotes, inside single quotes. This allows the double quotes to be passed to the command interpreter, etc. ( Which is my preference. I use single quotes by default, with AutoIt. Seems easier to type and easier when you need to pass double quotes. )

Or you can double up the double quotes. The inner double quotes will be passed to the command interpreter etc.
