Command line

[BaseCamp]

I'm trying to programmatically run the superfilesychronizer.exe via command line through another application. I've set permissions on the folder where the program is installed but I cannot get it to fire. I can run it from a command prompt, but I have issues running it from the program I'm writing.

Any ideas on permissions that need to be set??? I'm struggling.

Hello,

I've never heard of a comand line invocation failing due to permissions. What does your command line look like exactly? For example

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SuperFlexibleSynchronizer\SuperFlexibleSynchronizer.exe" /RUNX="Profile Name" /U

You are correct, it does not seem to be a permission issue. I've got some C# code which is trying to run the superflexiblesynchronizer.exe and pass the appropriate parameters into it to run a specific profile.

I can see the superflexiblesynchronizer.exe start in my Task Manager so I know that it is being accessed. It seems that either the parameters are not being passed or not being interpreted.

In theory this should work:

System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo psi
= new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
psi.WorkingDirectory = @"C:\Program Files\SuperFlexible";
psi.FileName = @"C:\Program Files\SuperFlexible\SuperFlexibleSynchronizer.exe";
psi.Arguments = "/RUNX=SyncTest";
psi.UseShellExecute = false;

using (Process exeProcess = Process.Start(psi))
{
exeProcess.WaitForExit();
}

Hi,
I'm releasing the v4.89 update right now and after that I will try this tonight. Haven't used C# in a while so it should be fun!

Cheers,
Tobias

Any luck?

Sorry I will need about 1 more day, have been kept busy with the Mac Promo today (http://www.mupromo.com/). As a temporary solution you could create a .BAT file with the correct command line and invoke that from C#.

Tried it.. it was my first course of action but ran into the same problems.

I think it is important to first try it from a batch file and try it by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer. As long as that doesn't work, you command line is wrong or the profile you're trying to invoke doesn't exist. Please confirm if your batch file works when launched manually.
