Re: Strpccmd

Scott,

I've seen other examples (from you IIRC) of rundll32 where the command uses
rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler xxxxx

What's the difference if any?

Thanks!
Charles Wilt

It's only the '%windir%' that doesn't work in Mocha. If you replace
that with C:\WINDOWS it'll work just fine. (But then, you're
hard-coding the location of the program)

Personally, I would NEVER issue a 'start firefox' to run a URL. It
deprives the user of their right to choose their default browser! Not
to mention that all of the '%windir%\System32\cmd.exe' stuff is
completely unnecessary. Plus, you'll get the ugly black DOS box when
you run it.

I'd do this instead (this is case senstive):

CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) VALUE('rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL' +
*BCAT &URL)

More info about that can be found here:

We use the following stcpccmd to invoke a browser based application

The &URL we get as a parameter is the actual URL of the application.

We use client access in production and mocha in development environment.

The above command executes well in Client Access, but not Mocha. We
could not determine as why it does not works in mocha. We noticed that
location of windows directory is different for some users. Due to this
we do not give the absolute location of windows directory. Instead we
use wild card character "%" to locate the windows directory.
