Judy Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 i am trying to run a .exe file on local intranet with the following code: RunWait($name, $file_path) and I got a window asking me to configure XP. Can't figure out what is the problem.
Locodarwin Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 What's the filename of the executable you're trying to run? -S (Yet Another) ExcelCOM UDF"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly...[indent]...specialization is for insects." - R.

Judy Posted November 11, 2006 Author Posted November 11, 2006 What's the filename of the executable you're trying to run?-S it's Setup.exe
Cue Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Does Running Setup.exe from local directory work?
Judy Posted November 11, 2006 Author Posted November 11, 2006 Does Running Setup.exe from local directory work?No. Neither lacal dicrectory nor the intranet works.I tryied add another line and the pop-up window disappeared. But still doesn't work at all. Error info said neither bad username or the password(I am sure I used the corrcect domain name , username, password)RunAsSet()Run($name, $file_path)
Locodarwin Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Okay. "Setup.exe" is a pretty generic name... ...what is it, if you don't mind me asking? What is your script trying to install? -S (Yet Another) ExcelCOM UDF"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly...[indent]...specialization is for insects." - R.

Helge Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 You should specify the entire path to the file in the first parameter, and not in the second. What happens now is that the file is not found in the script's @WorkingDir, but instead a file with the same name in the system32-folder is started, which shows a messagebox as seen on the picture. Do something like this instead : RunWait("\\helge\install\setup.exe")
