The vbscript isn't executed? AutoIt display a msgbox error? AutoIt script stay in the background?

Should the command line not be

RunWait(@SystemDir & "\wscript.exe c:\tstools\PIHKR1.vbs")

I could be very wrong.

No thats the thing it doesnt pass any error messages, it does everything else it is supposed to do except run the script.

I will try that and see if that works...Thanks

Try:

RunWait(@Comspec & " /c cscript.exe c:\tstools\PIHKR1.vbs")

or to keep the command prompt open:

RunWait(@Comspec & " /k cscript.exe c:\tstools\PIHKR1.vbs")

Try:

RunWait(@Comspec & " /c cscript.exe c:\tstools\PIHKR1.vbs")

or to keep the command prompt open:

RunWait(@Comspec & " /k cscript.exe c:\tstools\PIHKR1.vbs")

Well it opens up dos and changes to the tstools dir but it still doesnt try and run the script? I verified that the script is there.

THanks

You could try

Send("#r")
Send(@SystemDir & "\wscript.exe c:\tstools\PIHKR1.vbs")
Send("{ENTER}")

Mmmh ...

... I don't understand where the problem is.

If you want to use CMD you have to use for windows programms the "start" option, like:

RunWait(@Comspec & " /c start wscript.exe c:\Test.vbs")

If you simple want ot run it, use

RunWait("WScript.exe C:\OrRepOp.vbs")

That should do it.

HTH, Reinhard

Ok, another more creative option:

$oWSH = ObjCreate("Wscript.Shell")

$oWSH.run("C:\Test.vbs",1,TRUE)

Best regards, Reinhard
