RunAs msiexec

[Gnu3n]

Hi

Im VERY new to AutoIT scripting, it looks great for my scripting needs tho i just cant seem to get it working as intended, or at all for that fact

This is the script i am trying to run, and i have already verified that the acronis "switches" are working by running the entire program string in command prompt.

RunAs ("user", "domain", "password", 0, 'msiexec /i "\\path\AcronisAgentWindows.msi" /qb!+ /l*v \\servername\foldername\%COMPUTERNAME%.log LICENSE_SERVER=servername MMS_CMS_ADDRESS=servername MMS_CMS_USER_NAME=User MMS_CMS_PASSWORD=xxxxx GS_SERVICE_USERNAME=domain\user GS_SERVICE_PASSWORD=xxxxx', @TempDir)

Im useing Windows 7 x64 by the way, if that in anyway is relevant

Any and all help is very welcome!

Try this:

RunAs ("user", "domain", "password", 0, @ComSpec & ' /C msiexec.exe /i "\\path\AcronisAgentWindows.msi" /qb!+ /l*v \\servername\foldername\%COMPUTERNAME%.log LICENSE_SERVER=servername MMS_CMS_ADDRESS=servername MMS_CMS_USER_NAME=User MMS_CMS_PASSWORD=xxxxx GS_SERVICE_USERNAME=domain\user GS_SERVICE_PASSWORD=xxxxx', @TempDir)

It worked!

Thank you very much!

EDIT: Just for curiosity: what does "/C" do? .. /Call for short?

According to http://www.robvanderwoude.com/command.php

/c means "Close secondary session after execution of string"

I have no idea, really. It's a commonly documented "feature" that you need to add /c

By the way @ComSpec is command.com, so this is like typing C:\command.com /c c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe /install c:\blah\test.msi
