simply starting an application via vbscript

[RoMa68]

Hi all,
typing this:
<<c:\sols\runt2007_02_19\lim\startapp.bat PPLIQ300>>
into the run-box in WinXP the application starts

but how should this look like in scripting??

this does not work:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "c:\sols\runt2007_02_19\lim\startapp.bat ""PPLIQ300""", , True

Any ideas?

Thanks MR

What if you try....

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "%comspec% /c c:\sols\runt2007_02_19\lim\startapp.bat PPLIQ300", , True

Hi dm4ever,

option /c (WshShell.Run "%comspec% /c ) changes something with this cmdbox so that further commands in this startapp.bat cannot be interpreted. Removing this /c only a cmdbox is opened!?

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run """c:\sols\runt2007_02_19\lim\startapp.bat PPLIQ300", , True

wait, that was wrong, i meant

Set WshShell  = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run """c:\sols\runt2007_02_19\lim\startapp.bat"" PPLIQ300", , True

...not yet - I already reached this point.

i added a set and a pause command into this batch just to show me the environment parameters (ok) - so the call should work, but I get this:

>>>>
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .
Unzulässiger Parameter - baud=9600
Der Befehl ".." ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.
<<<<

this is the part of the *.bat:
--- schnipp ---
rem For Eltron-TLP:
if NOT %LABEL_LAYOUT_EXTENSION%==prl goto :NoEltron
MODE %ETIKETTEN_PRINTER%: baud=9600 parity=n data=8 stop=1 to=on xon=on dtr=on octs=on odsr=on
goto :NoLabelPrinter
--- schnapp ---

Big question mark...
