File.Run and Args

[WallyWonka]

I want create a button that will launch InstallSHIELD DeInstaller. In order to do that I need to pass a command line argument to point a DeIsL5.isu file. I tried this code and it does not work:

RemovePath = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\ \App Paths\\MyApp.exe", "Path", true);
if RemovePath ~= "" then
result = File.Run("WIN95\\UNINST.exe", "-f"RemovePath.."\\DeIsL5.isu", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, true);, ""), "")

Something to do with the quotes in the Args section. But the quotes are needed to pass the command to UNINST.exe. So what am I doing wrong here? Thanks for any help on this, it is driving my bonkers.

No good. That is for double quotes in a dialog text string. That doesn't work for Args. Can you post an example? I tried this:

RemovePath = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\ \App Paths\\MyApp.exe", "Path", true);
if RemovePath ~= "" then
File.Run("WIN95\\UNINST.exe", "-f\"RemovePath.."\\DeIsL5.isu\"", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, true);, ""), "")

File.Run("WIN95\\UNINST.exe", "-f\ \"RemovePath..\"\\DeIsL5.isu", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, true);

that method will work if you place an absolute path in the Args section, but for some reason the Args section doesn't pick up on the previous ResultVariable. It is reading this: "-f\ \"RemovePath..\", but stops there. It is not picking up the: DeIsL5.isu" part. I think because it is reading the quote after RemovePath..\" and thinking that it ends there. I'm not sure why this isn't working, VERY frustrating.

thats because hes closeing the string there

try this

File.Run("WIN95\\UNINST.exe", "-f\ \""..RemovePath.."\\DeIsL5.isu\"", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, true);

Brilliant! That last one worked! I never thought I'd get it. Thank you! I am sure I will have more questions about other things, but thank you for helping me on this one.
