run() openvpn and $STDOUT_CHILD -> openvpn doesn't start at all

[level20peon]

My script looks like this:

#include <Constants.au3>
Run('"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn.exe" "D:\config\tunnel.ovpn"','C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\',@SW_SHOW, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

which opens a DOS Window and closes shortly thereafter without actually starting OpenVPN.

Run('"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn.exe" "D:\config\tunnel.ovpn"','C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\',@SW_SHOW)

works like intended.

What am I doing wrong ?

Maybe try

Run( @ComSpec & ' /c ' & '"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn.exe" "D:\config\tunnel.ovpn"','C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\',@SW_SHOW, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

It didn't make a difference.

Edit:

I created a workaround for now but if anybody knows how to get a handle on my original code I would be pleased to learn about it.

workaround:

$run = Run('cmd.exe','D:\config\',@SW_HIDE,1+2+4)
StdinWrite($run,'"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn.exe" "D:\config\tunnel.ovpn"' & @CRLF)
