Running Windows Commands

[Otte]

I am trying to run some Windows commands within a script to delete files but it seems to be failing for some reason. My code looks like this

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'del test.zip')

I am running the script from the same directory where the file is located and if I run the command from cmd.exe then the file gets deleted. I am running this on Windows 2003 64 bit version which may have something to do with it as the code works on a 32 bit 2003 server.

I have added Message boxes to try and find out what error is that the command gives but only get a 1 as the result code. Is there a way to see the error or write the error to file that the command outputs?

Regards

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /k del test.zip')

Thanks for your help, I have now solved the problem, it was to do with working directories.

ShellExecute also works well.
