Any VBS programers in the house?

[smokin5s]

ok, so I'm trying to do something incredibly simple... but for the life of me, I can't get it to work right...

 

I'm pretty much writing a VBS file that calls an exe... only issue is, the exe has spaces in it's path and won't work... if I take the spaces out of the path, it works fine how do I fix it?

 

Attached is the code that I'm using.

 

The reason why I'm using it is I'm trying to remotely call the exe off of a website... I have the code in there for it to populate the computer name, but for this example, I figure it's just easier to make it call the local host name.

 

*******************************

 

strComputer = "."

strCommand = "C:\Program Files\McAfee\VirusScan Enterprise\mcupdate.exe"

 

 

Const INTERVAL = "n"

Const MINUTES = 1

 

 

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set objScheduledJob = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ScheduledJob")

Set objSWbemDateTime = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime")

 

 

objSWbemDateTime.SetVarDate(DateAdd(INTERVAL, MINUTES, Now()))

errReturn = objScheduledJob.Create(strCommand, objSWbemDateTime.Value, False, 0, 0, True, intJobID)

My programming skills are weak to none, but I would try %20 in place of the space in that path.

"""C:\Program Files\McAfee\VirusScan Enterprise\mcupdate.exe"""

 

Double up on the quotes, this will denote the space in the file path.

no go

looks like it requires 3 "'s which is what I see you did... when you said double up on quotes, I thought you meant 2 quotes

Sorry I should have said triple. Did it work out ok?
