running an excutable command line

[smartmanwin]

I would like to have a script to run setup.exe /x commad line and also will give the user a prompt indicating the uninstall was successful when it is done.

Can we do this using vbs and autoit.

Thanks.

Run command for the first bit will work...

For part 2: ProcessWaitClose

So you get something like:

$PID = Run ("Setup.exe /x")
ProcessWaitActive ($PID)
ProcessWaitClose ($PID)
MsgBox (48, "Complete", "Setup.exe is complete")

If you need it to show success or not, then ProcessWaitClose does give info on how the process closed, but you'll have to test that out....

So is this a vbs script.

So is this a vbs script.

Strange you are asking this. This means you both do not know AutoIt3 and VBS.

.. but this is an AutoIt3Script.

I think you might want to consider changing your display name.

Why on earth would anyone post a VBS solution on the AutoIt forum when it can be done by using only AutoIt?

Thank you for your help but I am trying to compare the execution that will suite the GPO.
