Pls help, How to Run a .Exe file which is at network folder

[sud]

I am trying to run .exe file from a network folder. but not getting any response.

Also tried with mapping the drive.

using below code.

Method 1 :

Run("\\.exe path")

Method 2 :

$result = FileExists("\\.exe path")
If $result Then
Msgbox(0,"","File exists")
Run("\\.exe path")
Else
Msgbox(0,"","File doesn't exist")
EndIf

Method 3:
DriveMapAdd("X:", "\\ path")
RunAs("X:\.exe")

 

Thanks

Hi.

 

This should give you a start:

 

$Exe="\\server\share\notepad.exe"


if FileExists($Exe) Then
    $PID=run($Exe,@TempDir)
    MsgBox(0,"EXE File found","The Program " & $Exe & " has been started with PID=" & $PID)
Else
    MsgBox(48,"EXE not found","The Program " & $Exe & " doesn't seem to exist. (missing rights?)")
EndIf

Regards, Rudi.

Hi rudi, thanks for your inputs.

i have tried the same and the msg is displaying that program has been started with PID but  .exe is still not executing.

Maybe something with admin rights? Do you have #requireadmin in your script?

@edit:

Have you tried to start it manually - doest it work ?
Try shellexecute instead of RUN.
