Problem with Run("psexec", .., $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) on Vista 64bit

[HighGuy]

Hi,

the following code with the current version 1.98 of the Sysinternals tool psexec works fine on my XP SP3 pc but not on my Vista 64bit where it produces a stucked cmd window:

Run("psexec.exe
localhost /acceptEula ipconfig /ALL", "", @SW_SHOW, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

Hint: if i remove the parameters $STDERR_CHILD and $STDOUT_CHILD it will not stuck any more. Starting psexec in a cmd-Shell works fine as well.

Thanks in advance for analyzing this issue,

HighGuy

Hi,

I have a further example showing a similar behavior (this time using the Microsoft tool winrs.exe from Windows Remote Management):

#include <Constants.au3>

; The following 2 examples works as supposed
;Local $foo = Run("ipconfig /ALL", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
;Local $foo = Run("winrs -r:<hostname> ipconfig /ALL", "", @SW_SHOW, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

; The next one not! It turns into an indefinitely loop. Why?
Local $foo = Run("winrs -r:<hostname> ipconfig /ALL", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

Local $line
While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)
Wend

While 1
    $line = StderrRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "STDERR read:", $line)
Wend

MsgBox(0, "Debug", "Exiting...")

Replying to Jpm:
I have had a similar problem using StdoutRead on Windows 7 Pro 64bit with Autoit 3.3.8.1
This code somtimes gets stuck in an infinite loop.

While Not @error
    $line &= StderrRead($foo)
Wend

I have found that adding a minimal sleep(), prevents this happening.

While Not @error
    Sleep(10)
    $line &= StderrRead($foo)
Wend

I hope this information may be usefull when evaluating this issue.
