help getting this to run

[chiners_68]

I cant get the following to run. I think its an issue with the quotes etc. round the setup.exe and adminfile. any help appreciated

run(@ScriptDir & '"setup.exe" /adminfile ' @ScriptDir & "profilesMAK-Passive.msp")

i think the problem is in your " around the setup. as it is the command would resolve like:

C:somefolder"setup.exe" /adminfile C:somefolderprofileMAK-Passive.msp

 

try

run('"' & @ScriptDir & 'setup.exe" /adminfile' & ' "' & @ScriptDir & 'profilesMAK-Passive.msp"')

 

which should resolve to:

"C:somefoldersetup.exe" /adminfile "C:somefolderprofilesMAK-Passive.msp"

Too much unnecessary quotes. This should be better + looks cleaner:

Run(@ScriptDir & 'setup.exe' & ' /adminfile' &  @ScriptDir & '\profiles\MAK-Passive.msp')

I am not sure if .msp will run with Run command, if it doesn't, use ShellExecute instead.

Your Run statement is incorrect, as you are missing the backslash before "setup.exe"

The extra quotes are to cater for a @ScriptDir path that might have spaces in it like    "C:Program Filesmorestuffin here"

 

Stick with this Chiners_68

run('"' & @ScriptDir & 'setup.exe" /adminfile' & ' "' & @ScriptDir & 'profilesMAK-Passive.msp"')
