Shell Command Gives Error "error After : And."
Nov 28, 2011
I used :
Shell("cmd /k type " & System.IO.Path.GetTempPath & "file.exe > " & Application.ExecutablePath & ":file.exe")
Temp Folder : C:Documents and SettingsAdminLocal SettingsTemp
Command Prompt Window gives error : File not found, error after : and. System can't find destination path.
I think the problem is in this name : Documents and Settings
What should I do to bring it to life?
P.S : File exists, it works when I use : start command.

I'm using a VB.net process to shell another exe process (which will wait until completion before processing is continued in the main app); however, I need to know if there is an error in the shelled exe process before continuing in the main app.

I need to open a *.py file in the shell (DOS) box, but it returns an error that no file was found at the specified path. But this path is completely correct. Unless Visual Basic are referencing to paths in another matter than C#? 'Cause I am developing in C# and referenced to VB to do this.

I have a VB.net program in which I call the Shell function. I would like to get the text output that is produced from this code in a file. However, this is not the return value of the executed code so I don't really know how to.
This program is a service but has access to the disk no problem as I already log other information. The whole service have multiple thread so I must also make sure that when the file is written it's not already accessed.

I'm trying to run batch files code within Visual Basic. I've been told you can do this using the Shell command, however I'm running into trouble with double quotes.As the Shell command syntax is Shell("codecodecode"), I'm not sure what to do when the batch file already contains quotes.
For example, how would I use the code:
copy "file location" "destination"

I am trying to execute a shell command with vb.net that includes variable from the vb.net code.I have experience with batch, and Unix scripting. I had to modify the contents of the code as it is confidential to me at the moment.Example of my problem:
Dim Variable1 As String = "Location_to_.exe"
Dim Location As String = "UNC_Path_Goes_Here"
Dim Options As String = "/Options go here"
Shell("cmd.exe", /C Variable1, Location, Options) This is something that must be run from CMD.exe and I am trying to do it this way to make it as dynamic as possible.

I am trying to setup a variable in VB, which will execute a shell command (autostatus.exe) with a parameter (-j JobName), and later display the output of the said variable. The code thus far is...
Dim JobName
Dim JobStatus
JobName = "asysr11_set_global_var_2day"
JobStatus = ShellExecute("autostatus.exe", -j, JobName)
What is the easiest way to achieve this? Currently, the above code returns error message "line:4, Type mismatch: 'ShellExecute', code: 800A000D"

Im trying to open media player (full screen) and play a movie. When i create the file path like so: Dim MoviePathVTS As String = String.Concat("""" + tempMoviePath, " \VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB" + """")
It wont play the file but if i do it like this: Dim video1 = """F:\Movies\DvD\Angels and Deamons\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB"""

I've created a very basic WF Shell project which runs an EXE (xyz.exe) in the WF Shell project's Resource folder. I can get a command line working from the Shell to open the other EXE (xyz.exe). But, I can't get code to close the Shell project's other EXE (xyz.exe) once it is opened. The xyz.exe windows called by the Shell continues to stay open even if I pass a "close" command line to the Shell.
The following code (which Paul suggested in another posting) will not close the other (xyz.exe) EXE's running process (when called by the Shell). While the Shell seems to be able to return it's called subordinate EXE's (xyz.exe) ID, not sure how to use such an ID to close its process.

I've researched this - and have read the other posts on this forum so this isn't a request for the commands themselves.My issue is that I can't get the 'desktop background' (to change the picture) applet to run from the following:Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,0", 1)
what I get from changing the commands are the following:Desktop Icon Settings Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,0", 1)
Screensaver Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,1", 1)
Appearance settings Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,2", 1)
Resolution settings Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,3", 1)
If I increment up from 3 (desk.cpl,,3) to 4,5,6 etc it still only gives me resolution settings. I tried up to 15 but lost the will to live after that! I'm using Vista (and VB 2008) so not sure if this is the issue, but if anyone has any suggestions please - I'm all ears.

I searched around and could not find a solution so I am sorry if I started something that has already been covered. Want I want to do is run a command line code and simply return a boolean of if it was successful or not. Is this possible? Typically when you run something (example net user User Pass) it will return a value "The command Completed Successfully." If I return this value I will have it from there.

I haven't touched VB or Visual Studio in an incredibly long time, so I appologize if this sounds ignorant.
Right now, my application (pictured below) is a simple button that executes a shell command. I was thrilled that I even managed that, but it got me to wondering if my application could execute that command, rather than sending the process to cmd.exe.
