Hi, I don't speak english very well but I need an information.
For run an external application I do this:

code:

---

var objShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
objShell.ShellExecute('C:\app.exe');

---

But my application must be execute with some parameters... I write this:

code:

---

var objShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
objShell.ShellExecute('C:\app.exe param1 param2');

---

but the function return error because search the 'C:\app.exe param1 param2' file that don't exist naturally.

Do someone help me, please?

You must escape the backslashes.

code:

---

var objShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
objShell.ShellExecute('C:\\app.exe param1 param2');

---

EDIT: MyBB won't display it properly? fixed..

Use the ShellExecute API instead, like this:

code:

---

Interop.Call("shell32.dll", "ShellExecuteW", null, "open", "C:app.exe", "param1 param2", "", SW_SHOWDEFAULT)

You're showing the same code .
I think you mean:

code:

---

objShell.ShellExecute("C:\app.exe param1 param2");

---

Good! Thanks vikke, your function works more good!!!

No, I had the backslash escaped, but it might not have shown properly since MyBB seems to be messing with that

Yeah lol, it removed mine too, two // becomes one
