WScript.Run issues

[bmquiroz]

I hope someone can help me with this. I've been trying to figure it out but run into a brick wall every time. I need to run a command and pass parameters to it, problem is the when I enclose the executable with double quotes I can't pipe additional parameters to it.

Heres the code:
WSHShell.Run "runas /u:NEO\administrator ""c:\VNCTemp\SetupRealVNC4.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT""" & "| sanur.exe password""",2,True

Heres what I need to run from a command shell:
runas /u:NEO\administrator "c:\VNCTemp\SetupRealVNC4.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT" | sanur.exe password

Thanks,

-Sip

I would try making the last """ be ".

Have you tried this ?
WSHShell.Run "cmd /c runas /u:NEO\administrator ""c:\VNCTemp\SetupRealVNC4.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT"" | sanur.exe password",2,True

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks guys but neither suggestion worked. I know its something with the double quotes just cant pin point it.

What i've used before is the chr(34) code to put in the quotes and it seems to work. Here is a sample of one of my lines to see how to implement chr(34).

oShell.Run chr(34) & "%logonserver%\NETLOGON\sc\reg.exe" & chr(34) & " delete " & chr(34) & "HKLM\" & strKeyPathHist & chr(34) & " /f", 0, True

Hope that helps.

And this ?
WSHShell.Run "runas /u:NEO\administrator ""cmd.exe /c c:\VNCTemp\SetupRealVNC4.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT | sanur.exe password""",2,True
The basic idea, as in my previous post, is that the pipe redirection must be handled by a shell.

Ok this works
WSHShell.Run "%comspec% /c ""runas /u:NEO\administrator c:\VNCTemp\SetupRealVNC4.exe | sanur password""",1,True
But when I add parameters (/SP- /VERYSILENT) to the exe it fails.
