File.RunAs

OverviewExamples

number File.RunAs (

string Filename,

string Args = "",

string WorkingFolder = "",

number WindowMode = SW_SHOWNORMAL,

boolean WaitForReturn = false,

string UserName = "",

string Password = "",

string Domain = "",

number LogonFlag = LOGON_NO_OPTION,

table CreationOptions = nil,

table ExtendedErrorInfo = nil )

Example 1

ReturnCode = File.RunAs(_TempFolder.."\\setup.exe", "/W", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, true, "TestUser", "fake_password", "", LOGON_NO_OPTION, nil, nil);

Runs "setup.exe" located in the user's Temp folder using "TestUser" user permissions, passes it /W as a command line argument, and waits for setup.exe to exit before continuing with the next action. Any code returned by "setup.exe" is stored in variable "ReturnCode".

Note: _TempFolder is a built-in variable that contains the path to the user's system "Temp" folder.

Example 2

-- Create the extended error info table.
ExtendedErrorInfo = {};

-- Run the file as an administrator.
nReturnCode = File.RunAs(_TempLaunchFolder.."\\SetupTest.exe", "/W", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, true, "Administrator", "master_password", "work.fakedomain.com", LOGON_WITH_PROFILE, nil, ExtendedErrorInfo);
error = Application.GetLastError();

-- Check if the action succeeded or failed and display the error messages.
if (error ~=0) then
Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[error].."\r\n"..ExtendedErrorInfo.ErrorCode..": "..ExtendedErrorInfo.ErrorMsg);
end

Runs "SetupTest.exe" located in the installer's Temp folder using "Administrator" user permissions, passes it /W as a command line argument, and waits for SetupTest.exe to exit before continuing with the next action. Any code returned by "setup.exe" is stored in variable "ReturnCode" and if an error occurs, the error code and messages are shown in a dialog message.
