HI
i'm new to programming,
i have the next code to try and run a specific file from the current directory.
the msgbox show the recognizing of the path,
but, the debugger say that the system cannot find the specified file.
please HELP
Tnx
Shabi

'Code
dim fso
dim curDir
dim WinScriptHost
set fso = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set WinScriptHost = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
curDir = fso.CurrentDirectory & "\"
MsgBox "CurrentDirectory=" & curDir
WinScriptHost.Run curDir & "Config.vbs", 2, False
WScript.Sleep 1000
set WinScriptHost = nothing
set fso = nothing

In all of the examples I see they always put the "\" in front of the file name instead of at the end of the path. Don't know why it would make a difference but give it a try.

'Code
dim fso
dim curDir
dim WinScriptHost
set fso = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set WinScriptHost = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
curDir = fso.CurrentDirectory
MsgBox "CurrentDirectory=" & curDir
WinScriptHost.Run curDir & "\Config.vbs", 2, False
WScript.Sleep 1000
set WinScriptHost = nothing
set fso = nothing

Hi RKinner
it should not make a difference but i have tried that b4 and it didn't work.
any ideas?
Thx in advance
Shabi

Does the path have a space in it perhaps? You might want to try Chr(34)

Chr(34) & WinScriptHost.Run curDir & "\Config.vbs" & Chr(34), 2, False

Hi again
Still nothing.

Hey Shabi,

Do you mind posting a screenshot or detailed information of the error message stating "The system cannot find the file specified". And as stupid as it may seem could you also post the output (Using MsgBox) of curDir & "file.vbs".


It sounds like it might also have something to do with file or directory permissions... Try running the script in a different location, run it from your desktop and even try a flash...

I know my suggestions might seem off, but looking at the code posted by you and RKinner it should work perfectly fine (While we at it posting all this information, please also post the revised code that you are executing as is).

Peace Out

Chr(34) & WinScriptHost.Run curDir & "\Config.vbs" & Chr(34), 2, False

The first chr is out of order...

WinScriptHost.Run Chr(34) & curDir & "Config.vbs" & Chr(34), 2, False
