Script running from web server


Recommended Posts

The script copies files from the web server to the local c:\temp directory but when it tries to kick off the install, I get an error. I assume the problem is because I am launching from a remote server, when the script gets to the part about the install it can't find the local C: drive. I'm sure the fix is something simple but I cant seem to locate it.

The specific error is

Line 0 (File "\\webserver.name.com\share$\setup.exe:):

$run = Run(@ComSpec & " /c c:\temp\msxml.msi /passive")

Error: Unable to execute the external program.

The directory name is invalid.

As always, thanks for the input.

RunAsSet("administrator", @computername, "password")

$copy = _FileCopy("\\webserver.name.com\share$\msxml.msi","C:\temp\")

Func _FileCopy($fromFile,$tofile) 
    Local $FOF_RESPOND_YES = 16
    Local $FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS = 256
    $winShell = ObjCreate("shell.application")
    $winShell.namespace($tofile).CopyHere($fromFile,$FOF_RESPOND_YES)
EndFunc

While ProcessExists($copy)
    Sleep(50)
Wend

$run = Run(@ComSpec & " /c c:\temp\msxml.msi /passive")

While ProcessExists($run)
    sleep(50)
WEnd


RunAsSet()

I don't think you can just Run() an .msi file. Use ShellExecute(), include START in your DOS command line, or run msiexec.exe with the .msi as a prameter.

It worked locally but bombed when running remotely. You sir, are a genius. Thank you yet again. :)
