Runwait Returns Invalid Function Using Scanreg

[tricky808]

I'm using scanreg.exe (from Win2K Res Kit) to search the registry for keywords and dump the information into a file that I parse at a later time. Here is the code:

FileInstall("scanreg.exe","scanreg.exe")
         $shortPathScanReg = FileGetShortName(@ScriptDir & "\scanreg.exe")
         $hiveRoot = StringSplit("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,HKEY_CURRENT_USER,HKEY_USERS",",")
         For $h = 1 to 4
            $returnCode = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " chr(34) & $shortPathScanReg & " /s " & $searchString & " /r " & $hiveRoot[$h] & " -kvd >C:\test\regFile.txt" & chr(34),"",@SW_HIDE)
            MsgBox(0,"returnCode",$returnCode)
         Next

So when I run the command line from a console window, it runs and dumps the regscan stream into c:\test\regFile.txt.

But no such luck when I fire the RunWait command from the autoit script. returnCode responds with error 1: incorrect function. So what gives?

TIA

$returnCode = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & chr(34) ...

I lost count the number of times I make this mistake

Thanks for the reply. My problem was actually due to a previous FileOpen call without performing a FileClose before piping my command-line into it. But good catch nonetheless.
