Run command not working

[gertsolo]

Hi,

I was running a hidden DOS command which worked fine. When I tried it on another computer nothing happend, no result no error message. So I made an easy example with the same result.

This is the command I'm testing with:

Run(@COMSPEC & " /c " & "ipconfig >> kip.txt", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE )

They both are XP systems.

What am I missing?

Add testing of @error flag after Run()

Add testing of @error flag after Run()

I did that, no result, it gives me nothing

I tried starting up a program (any program) from a dos box. When I do it without the @COMSPEC it works fine. As soon as want to do it hidden, it doesn't work anymore.

Very bizar.

Run() is returning either an integer PID or 0. So you should be capturing and testing that return value. On failure, @error is just non-zero, so don't test for @error = 1 as it might be something else.

The working dir as @SystemDir may not be available to non-admin users. Try @TempDir instead.
