Hi,

Can anyone tell me if I can replace WINDOWS with %SystemRoot%. For example, currently I am using the command;

#A = SYSTEM('GUI WINDOWS ASYNC C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe')

I want to replace WINDOWS with %SystemRoot%.

Cheers

Answered half my question in that I still don't know if I can use %SystemRoot% but if I omit C:\WINDOWS\system32 then it still seemd to work. I.e. #A = SYSTEM('GUI WINDOWS ASYNC calc.exe')

The following may give you what you want

#WINDOWS = CLIENT.GetPath("%WINDOWS%",$WINDOWS_DIR)

I would also suggest that you use the Client.Execute command instead of the SYSTEM('GUI WINDOWS.....) as the former is allot faster and has more features. I am not even sure if the SYSTEM('GUI command is even supported anymore.

Thanks Darren, I shall give that a try.
