Powershell code in AutoIt

[blumi]

I copied the code from MattHiggs, thought when he posts here some example in the forum, that the code is correct.

The code should look more like this I think.

RunWait ( @ComSpec & ' /c C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Export-StartLayout -As bin -Path c:\temp\test.bin -verbose', @SystemDir )

If you want to keep the DOS window open to inspect some error messages you could use:

RunWait ( @ComSpec & ' /k ...

Thanks, thats cool. Of course I didn't know this.

Powershell starts, but the command is not known.

+ Export-StartLayout -As bin -Path c:\temp\test.bin -verbose
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Export-StartLayout:String) [], CommandNotFoundExcep
   tion
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I thought Export-Startlayout is a command from powershell, isn't it?

My code works, and is the only way it has worked for me.  Is your cmd path also at syswow64, in addition to showing that error?

You did not tell us which version of Windows you run

I'm not running Windows 10 so unfortunately I can't help you with that.
But I'm sure on Google you will find a lot of hits

Tried this

RunWait ( @ComSpec & ' /c @powershell Export-StartLayout -As bin -Path c:\temp\test.bin -verbose', @SystemDir )

and

RunWait ( @ComSpec & ' /c @powershell -c Export-StartLayout -As bin -Path c:\temp\test.bin -verbose', @SystemDir )

Nothing works

YOu forgot the double quote surrounding your powershell command.  It should read Run ( @Comspec & ' /c @powershell -c "powershell command"' )

The code is correct.  If you had copied and pasted like you said you had, then it should have compiled and run no problem.  I would never post something I hadn't verified first.  Maybe you need glasses since you failed to put the powershell command in double quotes like the example I provided.  I will not deny that there is more than one solution to a problem, but before you discount mine, try getting it right first.

You did remember to change Powershells execution policy from "restricted" when you started coding right?  Powershell Command: Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted.  I would think that would be obvious, but your double quote learning disability requires the consideration of all possibilities,

Hi.

 

the "@" is turning off the "echo".

 

You propably know it already from the CMD and BAT script's usual #1 line:

 

@echo off
