erloyaamit Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) I have created a script to uninstall and install a trial version software from domain users machines for install and uninstall exe. I've used runas command , so that domain users (restricted users) can uninstall and install a software without any need 2 call admin to install software with admin rights. After uninstall process that software keeps its folder and few files in it's "program files\<software directory>". Without complete deletion/removal of that folder install process cannot continue. Domain users don't have rights to that folder.I have added a line in that script to remove that "program files\<software directory>", asRunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 1, Dirremove("c:\program files\<software directory>", 1)). When domain users runs exe file with this above command in that script, its unable to delete that folder as it is still trying 2 delete that folder with domain users rights only, even though i've used Runas command. ( I created a new script with the above single line in it , to test what is the problem. When i use windows right click runas admin rights, it works perfect.)Kindly suggest where i m making the mistake? Edited August 29, 2011 by erloyaamit
BrewManNH Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 DirRemove is an AutoIt command and can't be run that way. I would try using rd /s /q <foldername> instead in its place. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
