Illegal function call and Shell command.
Hi,
I have an application that is currently installed by forwarding users a button in an email, that also contains an executable.
In the past, we used the Shell command to launch the executable, so that it happens at a specific point in the script.
Our WINS7 pc is coming with Notes 8.5.1.
If you set UAC to the ‘default’ level, the Shell function gives Illegal function call.
I read on the forum here two posts regarding, one of them: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd85forum.nsf/5f27803bba85d8e285256bf10054620d/507aa7826ac130ab85257766005856e5?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,Shell
Advised that the affected person could work around the issue by setting UAC to the lowest level.
To me this is not an acceptable solution, as our users are not familar with this setting, and it prevents us from automating the install which is the next step in any case.
The second post, I don’t have a link for, advised that a workaround is to use the @Command(“Execute”;“FileName”)
But the LotusScript Evaluate function does not allow @Commands.
Surely there needs to be a way of running a file in the operating system that works,
with UAC at Default Level (or ideally at highest level), or a workaround such as being able to run the execute command from LotusScript?
