Embedded PowerShell code not working - (Moved)

[zoomi]

Hi All

I am trying to run powershell code embedded in AutoIT script but not having success. If I just run the code in PowerShell ISE it works just fine (I see the file true.dat file in Temp folder). Anyone has any idea as to what I might be doing wrong?

thanks

 

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>

Local $sCommand = 'PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass  '
$sCommand &= "$file = $env:TEMP\true.dat"
$sCommand &= ' ; '
$sCommand &= 'If (Test-Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{00425F68-FFC1-445F-8EDF-EF78B84BA1C7}"){New-Item $file}'
$sCommand &= ' ; '
Run($sCommand, "", @SW_HIDE)
Exit

You need to brush up on your debugging skills.  The first thing you should want to know is what the generated command line looks like.  You can easily do that by writing it out to the console.  If you can't see the problem, then cut & paste the generated command line to a command console and run it.  Do you see the problem, now?

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>

Local $sCommand = 'PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass  '
$sCommand &= "$file = $env:TEMP\true.dat"
$sCommand &= ' ; '
$sCommand &= 'If (Test-Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{00425F68-FFC1-445F-8EDF-EF78B84BA1C7}"){New-Item $file}'
$sCommand &= ' ; '

ConsoleWrite("Command Line = " & $sCommand & @CRLF)

;~ Run($sCommand, "", @SW_HIDE)

Console Output:

Command Line = PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass  $file = $env:TEMP\true.dat ; If (Test-Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{00425F68-FFC1-445F-8EDF-EF78B84BA1C7}"){New-Item $file} ;

never mind....I fixed it

Local $sCommand = 'PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass  '
$sCommand &= "If (Test-Path 'HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{00425F68-FFC1-445F-8EDF-EF78B84BA1C7}'){New-Item $env:TEMP\true.dat}"
$sCommand &= ' ; '
Run($sCommand, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
Exit
