Can't run from parameter being read from registry

[nicknuke]

I am  trying to automate email settings for our mailserver for outlook clients..
Since our users use various office versions.. the only way i can get installation path is by reading from this registry :

From there i usually just fire up MLCFG32.CPL for adding email accounts..
But somehow the Run / RunWait never bring up the window ( manually run from command prompt window does, of course ).

Here is my simple lines :

$Officepath = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\OUTLOOK.EXE", "Path")
$cpl = 'MLCFG32.exe'
MsgBox (0, "OFFICE PATH", '"C:\Windows\System32\control.exe ' & $Officepath & '' & $cpl &'"')
Run ('"C:\Windows\System32\control.exe ' & $Officepath & '' & $cpl &'"')

 

The Messagebox correctly showing the complete command to be run...
but when i put it in Run() on the next line.. nothing happened.

Many thanks for the help..

Could be redirection issue.  Search forum for that.  Or try running x64.  In any case, you should put some error handling to understand why a statement does not work as expected.

There are several issues with the script....  like this one:  

$cpl = 'MLCFG32.exe'

This works for me:

$Officepath = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\OUTLOOK.EXE", "Path")
$cpl = 'MLCFG32.cpl'
Run ('"C:\Windows\System32\control.exe" "' & $Officepath & $cpl & '"')

I kinda knew I messed up the single and double quotes somewhere in there...
Thank you so much Sir ...
