Can someone tell me what is wrong with this. I have little hair left and am in danger of tearing the it out.

It all goes absolutely OK, but I get "Installer encountered an error: 0x8000ffff. Catastrophic failure".

If I run the same text manually in a command prompt (I outputted it to a Notepad session to ensure the syntax was correct)

it works just fine.

The IPConfig (for test purposes) works no problem

Why do you include Array twice? (I don't think its a problem)...

I think maybe the value in $aPatch[$i] ends up not what you think... Try to MsgBox that out instead of your runwait (for test) to make sure it has the data you are expecting.

[shornw]

Include Array was a copy/paste error.

I have output to a Notepad session, then copied the text and pasted into a cmd prompt and it worked fine

Change the line to that:

ShellExecuteWait('wusa', '/uninstall /' & $aPatch[$i] & ' /NoReStart')

Edit: Does it makes a difference if you compile as x64?

Hmmm - Still no joy. Exactly the same error

It makes no difference whether it's compiled x86, x64 or uncompiled

What happens if you remove Comspec from the equation and just do a shellexecute?

ShellExecute("wusa.exe", '/uninstall /' & $aPatch[$i] & ' /NoRestart')

Might be easier to debug depending on return from ShellExecute

As stated above, I get exactly the same error.

This is REALLY frustrating as I know the syntax is correct - if I run the command manually, it works fine.

Any ideas on how to debug this would be much appreciated. As far as the script is concerned, the command completes successfully (either RunWait, ShellExecute or ShellExecuteWait, it fails after the command is launched.

I'm under the impression that AutoIt's default path searching works slightly different than the one employed by cmd.

I've taken to always specifying full paths wherever a file argument is required, and haven't run into this since.

Not checked with your code(s) though, YMMV

there doesn't seem to be an issue with the path. To test this, I deliberately entered an incorrect parameter (/NoReboot instead of /NoRestart) which invoked the WUSA info page. Therefore the WUSA element IS being run

[Tripredacus]

Try to fully qualify your path to wusa.exe?

For 32bit OS: C:\Windows\System32\wusa.exe

For 64bit OS: c:windowssysnativewusa.exe
