nsis Exec: failed createprocess

graz79 · 1st June 2007, 11:05

My installer ships a vbs install script to create the SQL database and IIS website. Run manually the vbs file completes.
Within my NSI script i have the following

Quote:

Section CreateDB
detailprint "Creating SQL database on $DBNAME"
ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\install\install.vbs" "$DBNAME" "$DBLOGIN" "$DBPASSWORD" "$APPNAME" "$WEBIP"'
IfErrors +1 +2
LogText 'Error running "$INSTDIR\install\install.vbs" "$DBNAME" "$DBLOGIN" "$DBPASSWORD" "$APPNAME" "$WEBIP"'
SectionEnd

Using the NSIS installer i get the following error in the logs

Quote:

Exec: failed createprocess

for this command.

I need this script to execute before the installer exits. Can anyone shed any light or recommend and alternative?

Thanks
Graz

Exec starts executable, not script, shell required to run vbs. And Forum Search is you best friend

If this opens black console window, you can take vbs extension handler from Registry (what ExecShell does) and run it using nsExec (included to distribution) or ExecDos plug-in (from Dev. center).

Thanks a lot

But i know get this

ExecShell: warning: error ("OPEN": file:""C:\Program Files\TrustNET\install\install.vbs" "Melbourne" "sa" "surfsup" "TrustNET" "192.168.1.200" "C:\Program Files\TrustNET"" params:"SW_SHOWNORMAL")=2

My script returns 100 not 2 on an error i.e. WScript.Quit(100)

Use Exec (or NsExec::Exec) with "Wscript.exe $PROGRAMFILES\TrustNET\install\install.vbs Melbourne sa surfsup TrustNET 192.168.1.200 $PROGRAMFILES\TrustNET"
