Script to run cmd in system context to install exe's

[venki284]

Hi

I am trying to open cmd in system context using psexec.exe from the below vbscipt, I am successful. Looking to create au3 file for the same functionality

path="C:\Packs\Completed_Pkg\Setup\"

objShell.run "C:\Tools\temp\PsExec.exe -i -s cmd /c "& chr(34)&path&"Setup.exe"&chr(34)&" /Popup"

AU3File

----------

run("C:\Tools\temp\PsExec.exe -i -s cmd") unable to run this in autoit. Here it opens the cmd and closes immediately

But if i use run("C:\Tools\temp\PsExec.exe cmd") the script works and opens user context and for system context I need to pass "-i -s" for the psexec.exe.

Please help me how I can do this??Thanks in advance.

Hi ,

in Autoit is better to use

ShellExecute("PsExec.exe","-i -s cmd /c","C:Toolstemp",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

Hi Sikkin,

Thanks for your reply,

But after running I got this error

"The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program and if one already installed,create an association in the default programs control panel". The psexec.exe file is a standalone exe.

Thanks,

Venkat.

Try it like this:

ShellExecute("C:ToolstempPsExec.exe -i -s cmd /c "& chr(34)&path&"Setup.exe"&chr(34)&" /Popup")

This runs a Setup.exe file as System for me:

$path="C:PacksCompleted_PkgSetup"
ShellExecute("PsExec.exe", '-i -s cmd /c "' & $path & 'Setup.exe" /Popup') ;PSExec in same dir as script.

Did you compensate for the variables ? - chr(34)&path ? - Should be $chr(34)&$path and should be existing.

Finally it worked for me!!! Hurray

Juviji is correct but the exe I should run as admin

ShellExecuteWait("PsExec.exe"," -i -s cmd /c "& chr(34)&$path&"Setup.exe"&chr(34)&" /Popup","C:Toolstemp")

Thanks for all who helped me done this..I am posting another one soon wish you all give me same support.

Thanks,

Venkat.
