Hui Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I tried to install an application's patch using autoit script, I use the following Run command: Run ("\\teimage\apps\Engineering\Frick-CoolWare\CoolWare_v6_20_Patch_3.msp") then I get an error "Unable execute the external program". I check the Run command syntax, it seems only can run .exe, .com, .bat, .pif, so I was wondering if there is a way to run .msp file. If any one can help, I would greatly appreciated.

Stumpii Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 You can use the ShellExecute function shown at the bottom of this link.i.e. like:_ShellExecuteDllCall("\\teimage\apps\Engineering\Frick-CoolWare\CoolWare_v6_20_Patch_3.msp") Give a man a script; you have helped him for today. Teach a man to script; and you will not have to hear him whine for help.AutoIt4UE - Custom AutoIt toolbar and wordfile for UltraEdit/UEStudio users.AutoIt Graphical Debugger - A graphical debugger for AutoIt.SimMetrics COM Wrapper - Calculate string similarity.
