anystupidassname Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Help! This is driving me nuts! If I run the command RunWait ('net start "symantec antivirus"', @SW_HIDE) or RunWait (@SystemDir & "\net.exe start " & '"symantec antivirus"', @AppDataCommonDir & "\Symantec\Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\", @SW_HIDE) or RunWait (@Comspec & " /c " & "net start " & '"symantec antivirus"', @SW_HIDE) or RunWait (@Comspec & " /c " & "net start " & '"symantec antivirus"', @systemdir, @SW_HIDE) BEFORE the TimerInit() and/or by itself, no problem. If it is run as in the script below, I get "unable to execute the external program, the directory name is invalid" $t = TimerInit() While TimerDiff($t) < 30000;do the following until half minute passes RunWait ('net start "symantec antivirus"', @SW_HIDE) If ProcessExists("RtvScan.exe") Then ExitLoop EndIf WEnd If Not ProcessExists("RtvScan.exe") Then MsgBox(48, "Error", "Unable to start Symantec Antivirus service!") Exit EndIf Thanks!

Holger Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 As far as I known the second parameter in Runwait is always the workingdir. So try using: $t = TimerInit() While TimerDiff($t) < 30000;do the following until half minute passes RunWait ('net start "symantec antivirus"',"", @SW_HIDE) If ProcessExists("RtvScan.exe") Then ExitLoop EndIf WEnd If Not ProcessExists("RtvScan.exe") Then MsgBox(48, "Error", "Unable to start Symantec Antivirus service!") Exit EndIf Old project:GUI/Tray menu with icons and colors Other old stuff:IconFileScanner, TriState/ThreeState GUI TreeView, GUI ContextMenu created out of a TreeView Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
