RunAs not working - Does RunAsSet still exist?

[andyjharper]

Greetings,

I'm trying to install an app for non-admin users on our domain. I did it back in April and now when I create a new one for a different app, it doesn't work. I'm using a real simple script:

RunAs("upgrade", "AD", "Winter08")

RunWait ("C:\upgrade\emr10_24_0012.msi")

RunAs()

The error I get is:

Line -1:

Error: Incorrect number of parameters in function call.

Also, I'm sure I did this as RunAsSet last time and now that lists as an unknown function. Has this changed since I last used AutoIT? At any rate, it acts like I have an invalid user name or password but I know it's correct. Anyone know what my problem is? Thanks for any help.

Maybe figured it out (still need to test). I guess you can't run msi files without calling msiexec first. I didn't realize it worked the same way it works via a command prompt.

That still didn't work either. Same error.

How about RunAsWait?

RunAsWait("upgrade", "AD", "Winter08",1,"MSIEXEC.EXE /I C:\upgrade\emr10_24_0012.msi","C:\upgrade\")

[andyjharper]

How about RunAsWait?

RunAsWait("upgrade", "AD", "Winter08",1,"MSIEXEC.EXE /I C:\upgrade\emr10_24_0012.msi","C:\upgrade\")

Thank you. That seemed to work. What does the logon_flag "1" do?

You seem to be doing this as though you still had to use RunAsSet(). That function was removed from AutoIt a few versions ago (3.2.11.0 Beta back in January, 2008) and replaced with RunAs() and RunAsWait(). The credentials and the executable are all handled in a single function. There is no more separate process to set up the credentials and clear them afterwords. It should all be one line now, as shown by azure above.

That would explain it! Thanks. I guess I had an older version of AutoIT installed before I re-imaged my box a few weeks back.

Thank you. That seemed to work. What does the logon_flag "1" do?
