Sorry, newbie here...RunWait an exe and pass a parameter

[Paul Rothschild]

I am attempting to script the installation of a VPN client using alternate credentials for users who are not local administrators.

From a command line, I can run the install and direct it to a configuration file as shown below:

*Start***********************

ngsetup.exe -f=ngsetup.ini

*End************************

In AutoIt, my script succeeds when run as below:

*Start***********************

RunWait("c:\aitemp\ngsetup.exe")

*End************************

However, when I add the parameter -f as shown below:

*Start***********************

RunWait("c:\aitemp\ngsetup.exe -f=nsetup.ini")

*End************************

the install proceeds as though the parameter were being ignored.

Can anyone suggest another method for running this exe and passing the required parameter to it?

Thanks,

Paul

runwait(@comspec & ' /c ' & 'c:\aitemp\ngsetup.exe -f=nsetup.ini')

it's actually in the notes section of that item in the help file.
