AutoIT script crashes on runwait console app

[ozbob]

We have run into an issue calling a console command (makeiso.exe). When opening the command prompt and calling the application from there it works fine.

When using an autoit scipt using the same command it results in a reboot of the PC. We have tried to use the comspec command but also this results in a reboot.

Other commands run fine, we have had the same result with miso.exe (magic iso).

Both commands are used to create iso files from the command line.

This is the command we used and crashed the PC:

$val = RunWait("d:\xplode\basic_install\wpi\common\makeiso.exe -J -r -V -v -o d:\backup.iso -graft-points -path-list d:\xplode\basic_install\wpi\common\test2.txt",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

the text file test2.txt contains the graft points and contains 2 lines:

adobe=d:\xplode\basic_install\adobe

dvdtools=d:\xplode\basic_install\dvdtools

In addition the same results when calling a batch file that contains the same line as in the script when calling from autit crashes the PC.

Does anyone have any suggestions? is this a bug?

What operating system, and what version of AutoIt?

What operating system, and what version of AutoIt?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Windows 2000 SP4 + AutoIt v3

[MHz]

This is the command we used and crashed the PC:

$val = RunWait("d:\xplode\basic_install\wpi\common\makeiso.exe  -J -r -V -v -o d:\backup.iso -graft-points -path-list d:\xplode\basic_install\wpi\common\test2.txt",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

With this line, you have @SW_MAXIMIZE as your working directory parameter.

Perhaps should be as below

$val = RunWait("d:\xplode\basic_install\wpi\common\makeiso.exe -J -r -V -v -o d:\backup.iso -graft-points -path-list d:\xplode\basic_install\wpi\common\test2.txt", "",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

Looking at what is a project folder? Are you using magiciso.exe, to make an iso, while it is within the compilation itself?

Unbelievable!!!!! It works after I added the ,"", as the working directory I guess I can say that I'm a @#@$!@$!@#%

Thanx a lot!!!!!!!!

My version:

;%CD% equals the current working directory. Which is in this example: "d:\xplode\basic_install\wpi\common"
$Arguments = "-J -r -V -v -o d:\backup.iso -graft-points -path-list %CD%\test2.txt"
$val = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c %CD%\makeiso.exe " & $Arguments, "d:\xplode\basic_install\wpi\common", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Thank you all for your fast reply. I was getting rather frustrated on my script but you guys pointer me in the correct direction!

Good catch. I still wonder why a bug like that would cause a reboot, though.
