Run powershell script with AutoIt

[david1337]

If I manually open CMD (admin or not, same result) and run: Powershell.exe -executionpolicy Bypass -File  "C:\Users\dml.admin\Desktop\Test\PSScript.ps1"

Then it works.

When I right-click the ps1 script and choose "Run with Powershell", then it also works.

Could it be an x86/x64 issue since it works with the batchfile from the CMD prompt? 
Have you tried running the script in x64?
Have you tried running the batch file from AutoIt3?

Jos,

Holy c... I just compiled it as x64, and then it worked!

So I guess that the server is using 64 bit Powershell every time I run it manually.

Thanks a lot guys!

Good catch Jos, should have thought of that.

If you need to compile your script as 32-bit, and still use PowerShell on a 64-bit OS, add the following to the top of your script.  

#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>

_WinAPI_Wow64EnableWow64FsRedirection(False)

check this Thread.  

you need to download the Com objects Sapien , but they are free. install the Package.  play with the code and you should be fine. i'm using it in some of my scripts, its a bit limited, but if all the work can be done in your PS1 script and read by autoit, 

 

regards,

Ok guys I'am not used to revive old topics, but I have found very useful this thread so to summarize :

HOW TO LAUNCH POWERSHELL FILES.PS1 FROM AUTOIT.

1. if compiling 32 bit and run in 64 bit system please add on top  to your script, (otherwise compiled 64bit it is not needed.)

   #include <WinAPIFiles.au3>
   
   _WinAPI_Wow64EnableWow64FsRedirection(False)

2. the command line has to be like this:

   ShellExecuteWait('PowerShell.exe', '-executionpolicy Bypass -File "' & $newPSfile & '"')

   where $newPSfile is the complete path of your file.ps1 (you decide shellexecuteWAIT or not wait)

3. in your PC or server launch AS admnistrator the autoitscript

Done

 

Thank you all!
