Bitten Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Hello, I'm having a weird issue i can't figure out. When i run the script without compiling it it works just fine, however when i compile and run the exe file, nothing is done. I'm at a loss as to what is causing this issue, any suggestions are welcome. The script is compiled and run without any errors. $source = "d:\temp\Mobile\*.*" $destination = "d:\pakning" Runwait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "xcopy " & '"' & $source & '"' & ' "' & $destination & '"' & " /V /H /Y /S /E","",@SW_HIDE) Edited July 28, 2014 by Bitten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitten Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Aparently this works if i use ShellExecuteWait instead.. I have no idea why though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted July 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 28, 2014 Change your RunWait from /c to /k so the window stays open. Is it sending to the command window what you would expect it to? "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

Bitten Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 It's not outputting anything, its as if the command isn't run at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Try removing the @SW_HIDE too, until you know it's going to work, hiding everything is not helpful at all.

Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

I even tried replacing xcopy with a different command, which works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaera Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 You could try with this instead, robocopy is more robust than xcopy '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> If Ive just helped you ... miracles do happen.

Bitten Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) You could try with this instead, robocopy is more robust than xcopy '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> Unfortunately this has to run windows native programs only. I guess i'll stick with the shell solution for now. Edited July 29, 2014 by Bitten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted July 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2014 Take your line, and write it to the console, like so. If you copy and paste this into the command window, does it run as expected? $source = "d:\temp\Mobile\*.*" $destination = "d:\pakning" ConsoleWrite(@ComSpec & " /c " & "xcopy " & '"' & $source & '"' & ' "' & $destination & '"' & " /V /H /Y /S /E" & @CRLF) "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

It seems like xcopy just wont run with " runwait() " Edited July 31, 2014 by Bitten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted July 31, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2014 I just tested it out, and this works just fine for me on WIN7 and WIN8.1: $source = "d:\temp\Mobile\*.*" $destination = "d:\pakning" Run(@ComSpec & ' /k ' & 'xcopy "' & $source & '" "' & $destination & '" /V /H /Y /S /E' & @CRLF) "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

BrewManNH Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It works for me as well, I get no errors running your original script, except I changed the @SW_HIDE to @SW_SHOW and used folders that I have on my system.

Bitten Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm running it on a Windows Server 2012.. maybe its some kind of rights issue. I have tried elevating the script to admin, and run the exe as admin.. but it makes no difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
