ShellExecute with Parameters

[vladimir100]

I have a OpenDs.vbs script (VBScript) that I'm running from the command windows as

OpenDs "Crumble Adoc (admin)\Initial Top Level Collection A"

If I use

ShellExecute("C:\AutoIt Scripts\OpenDs.vbs","Crumble Adoc (admin)\Initial Top Level Collection A")

it displays the message box with the word "Crumble" meaning that it terminates the parameter at the first space.

If I use

ShellExecute("C:\AutoIt Scripts\OpenDs.vbs")

it runs VBScript but without the parameter.

How to run the script with one parameter that has spaces?

I appreciate any help on this subject.

Thanks,

Vladimir

ShellExecute('Your Program.exe', '"Your Parameters with Spaces"')

Notice the single quotes outside the double quotes

HI All,

Appreciate its been a while since any activity on this topic.. However I am experiencing a similar issue as described 

The parameter doesn't seem to be recognized, This throws up the Windows Installer menu,, implying the switch is invalid

I have tried using a variety of combinations using '"/x"' "/x" ""/x"" '/x'

ShellExecute($source & "\APP\" & $APPMSI,'"/x"')

Any help would be most appreciated.

Looking at your posted code it seems you are running an MSI?

How does the working commandline  look when shelled from the CMD prompt?

Hi Jos

Thanks for getting back to me, 

Yes this is installing an MSI

This is how it looks in the command windows

app.msi, /x,E:\Temp\apppath\" /qn

Just to add the MSI works fine manually, it also works if I use Runwait

 

Many thanks
