Hi Everyone, hope you all had a nice weekend ..

I need some more advice , i am a little stuck .. another program of mine is trying to make something that will install programs as me the admin on the users computer .. right now i am trying to figure out how to install flash player ..

i have this so far , which works , but when i had a user try it .. it ran and did everything it should have , but when i went into add/remove programs flash wasn't listed , so it didn't install .. for right now i am just trying to make a exe file that i can send the users to have them install it , at some point i would like to be able just to do a txt file with a list of computers in it ..

any advice ??

I may be a little rusty on my memory of the docs but can't you use FileInstall()?

My UDFs are generally for me. If they aren't updated for a while, it means I'm not using them myself. As soon as I start using them again, they'll get updated.

Your runas command isn't doing anything, that's why it's not working. You're running CMD with it under your credentials, not running the msi file. Then you use RunWait to run the msi file, instead of using RunAs to do it.

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.

What I said was pretty clear, you're trying to run the msi file with the RunWait command and not with the RunAs command going by your first post. Your RunAs command is only running CMD.EXE when you execute that command line, it's not running the MSI file in the second command line's RunWait command. You have to run your msi file with the RunAs command if you want it to run under different credentials.

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.

ok i think i get it ..

so something like this then ..

RunAs($sUserName, "domain", $sPassword, '""msiexec /i "\\server\Adobe\flashplayer10.msi"" /qn')

Something along the lines like this:

RunAs($sUserName,"domain",$sPassword,0, '""msiexec /i "\\server\Adobe\flashplayer10.msi"" /qn')

I'm not sure of the placement of the quotes as I didn't actually run it, but you forgot the " ,0" in there in your string. :mellow:

Well what I normally do is to get the command working from the comman prompt first.

The cut and paste the command into your scirpt so you remember how it's supposed to be. :mellow:

<code>

; Installing Flash Player 10 ActiveX

Local $sUserName = "username"

Local $sPassword = "password"

; msiexec /i "\\server\Adobe\flashplayer10.msi" /qn

RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 0, 'msiexec /i , "\\server\Adobe\flashplayer10.msi" /qn', @TempDir)

MsgBox(4096, " Flash Custom Installer ", " Flash Player Has Been Installed ")

</code>

Good Luck

Make sure there's no comma or brackets between the msiexec /I and the file to be run.

I have been trying to do something similar to this, and I cannot get it working. If I copy the commands out and run them in cmd prompt they woek (with out running as someone else) but I cannot get the script working. Although I am not getting a error.

<code>

; Installing Flash Player 11 ActiveX

Global $sUserName = "UserName"

Global $sPassword = "Password"

Global $sNetwork = "Domain"

;Uninstall Flash Player

RunAsWait($sUserName, $sNetwork, $sPassword, 4, '"\\arnell\software$\Adobe\Flash Player\uninstall flash\uninstall_flash_player.exe" -uninstall')

;Install Flash Player

RunAsWait($sUserName, $sNetwork, $sPassword, 4, 'MSIEXEC.EXE /i "\\arnell\software$\Adobe\Flash Player\11.0.1.152\32-bit\install_flash_player_11_active_x_32bit.msi" /qn', @SW_Hide)

</code>
