Remote Install issue with PSEXEC

[dinodod]

I don't quite understand what is wrong here other than the fact that i have a sace in my command (But I AM using quotes so...)

I can run this command in a DOS window and this works:

psexec \\testxp msiexec /quiet /i "c:\temp\RemoteInstall\msxml.msi"

So then I it in my Autoit script and it has a problem executing it. Here is my Autoit version:

$PSexec = """" & @ScriptDir & "\bin\psexec" & """"
    $File = "msxml.msi"
    $Source = @ScriptDir & "\apps\MSXML"
    $Dest = "\\" & $aPcList[$x] & "\c$\temp\RemoteInstall"
    $App = "msiexec /quiet /i " & """" & "c:\temp\RemoteInstall\" & $File & """"
    
    $RemoteInstallStatus = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /k " & $PSexec & " \\" & $PcName & " " & $App);& """" & " " & """" & " \\" & $PcName & " " & $App)

What this ends up becoming is:

"F:\Autoit Apps\Bin\psexec" \\testxp msiexec /quiet /i "c:\temp\remoteinstall\msxml.msi"

Yes, my folder has a space in it's name; hence the reason I'm using QUOTES to encapsulate it properly. Thus far, I haven't come up with any combination of using the QUOTES to make this work. And yes, I would prefer to use spaces in my folder names to make future development easier.

Thoughts?

you could try this way :

$PSexec = '"' & @ScriptDir & "\bin\psexec" & '"'
$File = "msxml.msi"
$Source = @ScriptDir & "\apps\MSXML"
$App = "msiexec /quiet /i " & """" & "c:\temp\RemoteInstall\" & $File & """"
$PcName = "TestPC"
$RemoteInstallStatus = RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /k "' & $PSexec & ' \\' & $PcName & ' ' & $App & '"')
