Status: online 		Hi all

I have created a hta file that asks the IT engineer to select the software that they would like to install on to the PC. I get the check box system to work with a msgbox reply.

eg if I tick Office 2000 and Winzip then it come back with a msg that its installing.

I now need to replace the msg box with the actual vbs or bat file to install the software

How would I do this ?? I tried with objShell.Run("C:\Program Files\Windows NT\CF18-19Menu.vbs")  but that just comes up with an error

Below is part of my script that the if statement works with the check boxes

If Winzip.Checked Then
MsgBox "Winzip is been Installed"
'objShell.Run("C:\Program Files\Windows NT\CF18-19Menu.vbs") This is disabled at the moment as it didnt work

End If
If MSOffice2000Std.Checked Then
MsgBox "Office 2000 Std is been Installed"
End If
If LotusNotes.Checked Then
MsgBox "Lotus Notes is been Installed"
End If
If AcrobatReader.Checked Then
MsgBox "Acrobat Reader is been Installed"
End If
End Sub

Any help woul be gratefully received

Status: offline 		what is the error you get.  Also you do have "Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")" in your script just before the code you posted right.

Use the shortpath instead to avoid this error.

Thanks for your advice but I think Ive solved it but I did have the "Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")" just before the code I pasted on friday.

I set the link as "objshell.Run(file:///C:/Program%20Files/Windows%20NT/CF18-19Menu.vbs)"  and it worked. Not sure if this is correct but its working or only because its in a HTA file.

Thanks again

Martyn
