Custom events not executing properly
Permalink   
 

Hi,

I have a package were I need to connect two network shares.

I usually use something like this:

%COMPSPEC% /C if not exist r: net use r: \\servername\share

I entered this into the virtual application under custom events like this

Execute when: on start (unvirtualized)

Command to run: %COMSPEC%

Arguments: /C if not exist r: net use r: \\servername\share

 

but, when I start the application the network drives do not get connected. Do you have any idea what could fail here?

Hello Alienn,

Either of these should work:

1. Use cmd instead of %comspec%
2. If %comspec% is preferred, use it in a batch file and set Custom event to run the batch file

O.k. when I use "cmd" instead of "%COMSPEC%" it works.
But then a dos windows is displayed for a short time.

Is there another way to connect a network drive without displaying anything to the enduser? Can I run shell commands silently?

 

 

Cheers,

Nicki

If your default command interpreter runs silently, you can use %%comspec%%; otherwise, a .vbs file will work without displaying anything.

Will the vbs file be included in the App or is it necessary to be delivered with the app?

You can include it with the package by using Packager -AddScript [script_filename] [event_name] [wait/nowait] [package_file], e.g. Packager -AddScript C:\scripts\mapdrive.vbs OnStartUnvirtualized wait C:\packages\appname.cameyo.exe

Notes:

  • default location of Packager is %appdata%\VOS\Cameyo\PROG\%Program Files%\Cameyo
  • if you type an invalid event name, you will see a display of all possible event names
