Reg: Launch the window application

[kumar_N]

Hi..



How to launch the application available in the path, instead of Call TestedApps.notepad.Run(1, False).



E.g: I need to launch the application available in the path like c:\Allprograms\applicaiton1.



How to write script for that.





Regards

Naresh

Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("c:\\Allprograms\\applicaiton1");

Hi Gennadiy Alpaev

Tx for your reply.



I was not able to run the application still. i am getting the run time error.



E.g To Run the calculator applciation.

Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Accessories\\Calculator")



Run time error is coming,"The system can't find the specified file path"

Hi,



Enclose the path in quotes:

Sys.OleObject("WshScript.Shell").Run("\"C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Accessories\\Calculator\"")

Hi..

if i copy the same script in vb script its giving code compilation error.

can u please give the snippet in vb script.

[karkadil]

Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("""C:\Program Files\application.exe""")



if you need to run your application with parameters, then



Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("""C:\Program Files\application.exe"" param1 param2""")



And I really recommend you to start learning the language you are using in your scripts, because you need to be able not only recording scripts, but also write them manually...
