Hi,

I’m trying to run an installation with a flag,

but for some reason it ignores the flag…

  1. this one doesn’t work at all:

waithidden c:\filename.exe -oid 1.2.840.113741.1.54 > c:\filename.txt

waithidden “c:\filename.exe -oid 1.2.840.113741.1.54 > c:\filename.txt”

  1. this one ignores the flag:

waithidden cmd.exe /C c:\filename.exe -oid 1.2.840.113741.1.54 > c:\filename.txt

waithidden cmd.exe /C “c:\filename.exe -oid 1.2.840.113741.1.54 > c:\filename.txt”

  1. created a batch file which runs the same command.

when running it locally it works, when running it from the fixlet, it does nothing…

waithidden filename.bat

waithidden cmd.exe /C filename.bat

I also tried adding the runascurrentuser.exe script to all of the above commands, but the results are pretty much the same…

any ideas?

Hey Sharonbi,

How about this:

waithidden cmd.exe /C “c:\filename.exe” -oid 1.2.840.113741.1.54 > “c:\filename.txt”

The name of the exe should be enclosed in double quotes (especially if it has a space in it) and also the filename at the end should be enclosed in double-quotes.

didn’t work.

It didn’t even create the output file that way…

OK, I found the problem.

It is indeed permission problem.

the cmd that opens is opened with the “system” user

however when i add Runascurrentuser to the command in the following formats,

it gives me empty output…

waithidden RunAsCurrentUser.exe cmd.exe /C “c:\filename.exe -oid 1.2.840.113741.1.54 > c:\filename.txt”

waithidden cmd.exe /C RunAsCurrentUser.exe “c:\filename.exe -oid 1.2.840.113741.1.54 > c:\filename.txt”

tried running it locally with RunAsCurrentUser.exe and also i got nothing…

in general I narrowed it down to simpler commands.

If you can help me make it work for them, I guess it will be good for the original commands too.

cmd.exe /K ipconfig /all>c:\x.txt - works fine (locally)

however,

c:\RunAsCurrentUser.exe cmd.exe /K ipconfig /all>c:\x.txt - don’t work…

(also with “…”)

After many trials & errors, I found how to do it:

Apparently it takes 2 cmd’s to bypass that problem:

waithidden “{pathname of client folder of site “SecurityProd” & “\RunAsCurrentUser.exe”}” --w cmd.exe /C cmd.exe /C “c:\XX.exe -oid 1.2.840.113741.1.54 > c:\x.txt”

Thanks!
