How to open an application from start menu program

[willwatters]

I'm trying to open an application from D:\documents and settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mitratech\Claim Litigation Mailer Utility.lnk using the following code, but it does not work.

$details = FileGetShortcut(@ProgramsCommonDir & "\Mitratech\Claim Litigation Mailer Utility.lnk")

$mycommandline = $details[0]& " " & $details[2]

run ($mycommandline,"",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

Will you please amend this code to make this work.

Thanks.

what is the error that you get??? i try to do it and i get an invalid subscript. "subscript used with non-Array variable" hmm dont know about this one. I get that error with the example code.

I do not get an error, its just that nothing happens.

Is this line of code correct:

$mycommandline = $details[0]& " " & $details[2]

I used it for desktops and it works ok.

I tested it on WinZip link, worked fine.

Try

MsgBox(0,"test",$mycommandline)

to see what is in $mycommandline

i got the following:

C:\WINNT\Installer\{6F2FCC69-BECB-4A7A-8E48-F706094944FF}\Icon6F2FCC69.exe

I also got something similar for winzip.

Any other suggestions please
