Unable to execute external program

[stev379]

Why would this give an "Unable to execute external program" error:

FileInstall ("ChglclAdmPW.vbs", @systemdir)

Run(@Systemdir & "\ChglclAdmPW.vbs", @systemdir)

FileDelete(@systemdir & "\ChglclAdmPW.vbs")

Thanks!!

Did you try this?

Run(@Systemdir & "\ChglclAdmPW.vbs")

Just wondering why your asking for @Systemdir again.

EDIT: Also on the FileInstall out of the Help File:

source: The source path of the file to compile. This must be a literal string; it cannot be a variable.

Tried that. Asked for @systemdir again as a working directory.

Thanks!

This is what I meant:

FileInstall("C:\test.au3", "D:\mydir\test.au3")

Literal String being "C:\" as the example presents.

Sorry for not being clearer.

No problem! Thanks for the help.

I figured it out. I knew I had run in to this before. You have to open wscript.exe.

Runwait(@comspec & " /c Wscript.exe " & @Systemdir & "\ChglclAdmPW.vbs", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)

This is what I meant:

FileInstall("C:\test.au3", "D:\mydir\test.au3")
