Hi:
Can I execute command lines from w/in ASP?
I tried this and it just locks up the browser.
In fact everything I tried either returned an integer, 1 into RetCode or just locked up the browser permanently:
Can I find out what error the integer represents?
Set WShShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
RetCode = WShShell.run("cmd cd c:\MRDBackup", ,False)
If RetCode = 0 Then
sErr = "Install Created"
Else
sErr = "ERROR: Install Not Created: " & RetCode
End If

does MRDBackup raise any prompts to the user? If it does, that will be the cause of the hang.

No, it doesn't. It can return lines in DOS but it's got switch /V0 which I'm using which means verbose=none.

I'm at a loss then, I'm afraid. The return code of 1 is just whatever the command returns (if it doesn't have any specific exit codes for different errors, then it will just return 1 if it fails and 0 if it succeeds - not much help really).
You could try using the Exec method of the WshShell object instead, since that is specififcally designed for command-line programs, but I don't know if this will help coz Run should work just fine...

Hmm, just my luck . Well, it's working through my VB component (go fig'r). It's an extra step but I guess I'll have to live with it.
Thanks for your help
