Problem running a command in VBScript 3

[dseaver]

I create command string using the following

Dim LogFileName
LogFileName =  "C:\Logs\RestoreLog-" & Replace(date(), "/", "_") &".txt"
Dim CommandStr
CommandStr = """C:\program files\acronis\trueimageworkstation\trueimagecmd.exe"" /filerestore /filename:""E:\Backup.tib"" >" & LogFileName & " 2>&1"

When I run the resulting string in cmd.exe, it creates the log file, but when its run using

Set MyObj=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
MyObj.Run CommandStr

The log file is not generated. any ideas how to fix this?

sExePath = "C:\program files\acronis\trueimageworkstation\trueimagecmd.exe"
sSwitches = "/filerestore /filename:E:\Backup.tib >> """ & LogFileName & """ 2>&1"
If objFSO.FileExists(sExePath) Then
objShell.Run "%comspec% /k """ & sExePath & _
""" " & sSwitches, 2, True

Is the code for 7 Nov 07 8:46

sExePath = "C:\program files\acronis\trueimageworkstation\trueimagecmd.exe"
sSwitches = "/filerestore /filename:E:\Backup.tib >> " & LogFileName & " 2>&1"

If objFSO.FileExists(sExePath) Then
objShell.Run "%comspec% /c """ & sExePath & _
""" " & sSwitches, 2, True


^^^Works!! Thanks all for your help!!

Now, If I understand correctly, When I call that command, the script will carry while this happens elsewhere, correct? Is there a way for me to wait until this, or similar, commands are done before continuing on?

Read the comments included with my orginal code.

the true at the and of the .run command causes the script to wait for the run to finish then continue. False would cause it to continue on while the cammand that was called with the run is doing it's thing.

Thanks again, after I looked at the code, I realized that
