Starting Teams

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Hi 

I'm trying to start Teams but as the Teams.exe is located in the profile folder it'll be different for different users. 

Any ideas on a solution? 

I've tried the below to no joy 

WriteToConsoleAndLog("-----Log: Run Teams.exe")
   Run("%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\current\Teams.exe")
      if @error then
         Msgbox(16, "", "ERROR launching Teams.exe-> Attempting to launch Teams")
         WriteToConsoleAndLog("----ERROR launching Teams.exe-> Attempting to launch Teams")

      endif

Hi @CaptainBeardsEyesBeard,

what is the exact output/error of your Run() approach? Have you already tried ShellExecute() / ShellExecuteWait() instead?

Btw: 💡 As far as I can see, the teams.exe is located under:

%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Teams\current\

I don't get your pain point to be honest 🤔 .

Best regards
Sven

Try changing your Run command to this, which works for me --

Run(@UserProfileDir & "\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\current\Teams.exe")

The default method for starting Teams can be found here (when setup to start on first logon)

Key =: HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Val =: com.squirrel.Teams.Teams

Run(@LocalAppData & '\Microsoft\Teams\Update.exe --processStart "Teams.exe" --process-start-args "--system-initiated"')
