C / C++ / MFC

I'm automating our product build process. I have a native Win32 application that does some UI setup and updates version resources, and then it runs the build script. The build script is a .wsf (Windows Script File) that I want to run using CScript, the console script host.

My problem is this: If I call CreateProcess with CScript.Exe as the file to execute, the process starts, creates a console window, and exits immediately:

STARTUPINFO startup_info = { 0 };
char        startup_title[128];
	
strcpy(startup_title,"Distribution build");
	
startup_info.cb      = sizeof(startup_info);
startup_info.lpTitle = startup_title;

PROCESS_INFORMATION process_info = { 0 };

CreateProcess("CSCRIPT.EXE",
              "//nologo DistributionBuild.wsf",
              NULL,NULL,FALSE,
              "C:\SC400.Build",
              &startup_info,
              &process_info);

However, if I start CScript.Exe via the command interpreter, it runs correctly:

CreateProcess("CMD.EXE",
              "CScript //nologo DistributionBuild.wsf",
              NULL,NULL,FALSE,
              "C:\SC400.Build",
              &startup_info,
              &process_info);

Anyone have any ideas why this might be the case?

You seem to be missing two parameters to CreateProcess(). I'm guessing that DWORD dwCreationFlags and LPVOID lpEnvironment are the ones.

Thanks for your help, and sorry for the missing stuff. I'm using dwCreationFlags = 0 and lpEnvironment = NULL. I just reread the help for CreateProcess and realized I probably should use dwCreationFlags = CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE. Leaving the environment set to NULL should cause the new process to receive a copy of the existing one.

What about the double backslash in the lpCurrentDirectory parameter? Does GetLastError() return a non-zero value in your first example of CreateProcess()?

The current directory included the proper backslashes (the code I posted originally is paraphrased). The process does start (CreateProcess doesn't return an error), but it doesn't run the script.

Mike Dunn gave me the key (see the posts below). Thanks for your help Rose | [Rose]

The first param to CreateProcess() should be NULL, and the second the complete command line.

That makes it work Rose | [Rose]

Hmmm. Looking at my original code, when I was specifying "C:\Windows\System32\CScript.Exe" as the application parameter, and "//nologo DistributionBuild.wsf" as the command line, I realize I wasn't repeating the program name in the command line, e.g. "C:\Windows\System32\CScript.Exe //nologo DistributionBuild.wsf". Perhaps that was what was causing the problem. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I need help.

I have enabled asynchronous listening on tcp and udp port.

When I receive TCP request, averything is ok, i read source IP adress
(FD_ACCEPT) and data (FD_READ).

But when UDP broadcast message comes, i cannot read IP adress, because
there is no FD_ACCEPT event. I can only read udp data.
How can i get source ip of UDP datagram?

Thanx for help.

I've already made it,
simply call recvfrom() instead of recv().

Thanks anyway.

Just a couple of things at first glance,

char ConStr[500];
_bstr_t ConStr(m_edit1);

Using the same name for two different variables is confusing.

Also, shouldn't you have a MoveFirst() before you attempt to get values from your recordset.

I'm not sure but shouldn't

VARIANT *vRecordsAffected = NULL;

be

VARIANT vRecordsAffected;

To get any useful replies, you might consider narrowing it down quite a bit (i.e., looking at a whole wad of irrelevant code will scare off even the most seasoned troubleshooter). What sort of error is it? Is an assertion firing? Have you single-stepped through the code with the debugger? Provide some hints as to what is happening versus what is supposed to happen.

what is supposed to happen is..
as i enter the product name..and on clicking ok..
the prog should look for the record with that particular product name and fetch that particular record..in the specified location..
then...get the record and display it in the edit box in the dialogue box..
and shud exit!
what is haeppening is..this is giving an error!after diplaying in the edit box!
