RajeshK Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 When I am running the ShellExecute as ShellExecute('"C:\abcd\msi\ADVInstaller.msi"', '/q') it is installing but when I am saving the path in path variable and executing as ShellExecute(&$path, '/q'). It is not installing the msi, please suggest where I am doing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RajeshK Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Suggest me, how should I format that ShellExecute command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted August 1, 2018 Developers Share Posted August 1, 2018 Though that was already done. Is it correct to assume you have set $path=$path="C:\abcd\msi\ADVInstaller.msi", so the script will look like: $path="C:\abcd\msi\ADVInstaller.msi" ShellExecute($path, '/q') Did you try that?
