Using Network Paths In Install Scripts

[AutoItiot]

I'm trying to make an automatic install of several programs,drivers, etc. from the network, and I wanted to know if it was possible to run a program using its network path (ex. \\servername\temp\install.exe). I read on here you can map a network drive but I was hoping there was a way to go directly to file on the network. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

try:

Run("\\servername\temp\install.exe")

That doesn't seem to work.

Well I'm sure the path name is correct and it works from the run command line. When I try to execute this one line script I get an "Error: Unknown Command."

I tried all kinds of variables and a different error I got was when I tried:

Run("%\\Servername\temp\install.exe")

The error was "Error: Unable to expand the variables in this line. (Badly formatted)."

Maybe I'm just missing something simple but I just can't get this to work.

You have a % in the Run("%\\Servername\temp\install.exe")

try : Run("\\Servername\temp\install.exe")

I tried that before and I got the first error I listed. I just added in the % because I was messing around with it and I happened to get the 2nd error I listed.

I just found the reason and I was right: I AM an idiot. This whole time I thought I was using 3.0 but I was using 2.6.4. Sorry for the stupid questions...
