run executable from share 1

[brian32]

Hi. How do I run an executable from a share? For example, the file is located at \\server\share\file.exe

I tried wshShell.Run "cmd /c dir \\server\share\file.exe", but that doesn't seem to work.

If there are two ways of accomplishing this, that would help. Thanks.

What is the "dir" there for?

In short, you should be able to simply use:

wshShell.Run "\\server\share\file.exe"

If you want your script to wait then you can try this:

wshShell.Run "\\server\share\file.exe", 0, True
