Problem to start program on mapped drive

[wfuehrer]

Hi!

I'm not able to start a setup from a mapped drive.

The Code:

DriveMapAdd("W:", "\\server\share$\coreldraw11", 0, "domain\name", "password")
FileChangeDir("W:\")
RunAsSet("Administrator", @Computername, "pass")
RunWait("setup /s /v/qn")
RunAsSet()
DriveMapDel("W:")
exit

The error message said that setup.exe couldn't found. I don't know why.

To start with RunWait("w:\setup.exe") brings up the same message.

Anyone an idea?

You are using RunAsSet() which is changing the credentials. Are you sure that the Administrator account of the PC can access "\\server\share$\coreldraw11" ?

I tend to do it this way:

Map the drive

copy the file to a PC directory like @TempDir

Run it from this TempDir.

Hi!

I tried RunAsSet() at the beginning of the script, too. The mapping and the working dir have been ok, but the error messange was the same .

Copying the whole CorelDraw 11 (administrative installation point) on the client pc is not the right way i think. Deleting the copy would be neccesary because of License reasons.

Well, doesn't matter where you put the RunAsSet() since it only has an effect on Run and RunWait.

As far as copying the installer to the pc first: What do you think happens when you run it ?

Copy, Run and then Delete should work but running it from a Server you need to use a account that has the proper rights to the Share you run the installer from.

Hi!

I found a solution - much easier

RunAsSet("name", "domain", "password")
RunWait("\\server\share$\coreldraw11\setup /s /v/qn")
RunAsSet()

Now the "name" account has to be lokal admin and must have rights on the share.

Mapping with account 1 and starting with account 2 does not run.
