Fergieman Fergieman Getting the hang of it Registered: 2010-02-25 Posts: 58 Loc: Ireland	Guys Im trying to run the following command via my script Shell '%comspec% /c "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Client\ConfigWizard\Microsoft.Crm.Application.Outlook.ConfigWizard.exe" /q/ i "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Default_Client_Config.xml" ' But when I do I get 'C:\program' is not recognised as as internal or external command. I can't figure out why this is happening. I believe I have all the quotes in the correct place.

Code: $cmd="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Client\ConfigWizard\Microsoft.Crm.Application.Outlook.ConfigWizard.exe" /q/ i "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Default_Client_Config.xml" ? $cmd ;Shell $cmd _________________________ (... better days ahead)

I prefer to build $Cmd in stages though: Code: $Cmd = '%COMSPEC% /c' $Cmd = $Cmd + ' "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Client\ConfigWizard\Microsoft.Crm.Application.Outlook.ConfigWizard.exe"' $Cmd = $Cmd + ' /q /I "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Default_Client_Config.xml"' If $DEBUG 'Command to run: ' @CRLF ' ' $Cmd @CRLF Else Shell $Cmd EndIf Note that every time you extend the $CMD string, it starts with a SPACE character!. $DEBUG controls whether the command is displayed or executed.
