I wanted to use system.util.execute to run a batch file in my computer. I am able to run the script below on a button actionPerformed event and it runs the batch file system.util.execute([“C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe”,"/C",“start”,“C:\Users\WengFai\Desktop\Test.bat”]) When I use the exact same scr…

both scripts below is not working: system.util.execute(["C:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe","/C","start","C:\\Users\\WengFai\\Desktop\\Test.bat"]) system.util.execute(["C:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe","/C","start","C:\\Program Files\\Inductive Automation\\Ignition\\batchfile\\Test.bat"]) I am running …

If I recall correctly, with UAC enabled, services running with ‘interact with the desktop’ are actually interacting with a virtual gui that corresponds to an remote desktop “/console” or “/admin” connection. Microsoft has been trying to kill off gui-visible services for ages … My Windows7 VM is us…

I have followed the steps from Jordan but no luck and it is not working to me. Do i need JDK or JRE will do? UAC had been disabled in my computer.

My thought is that this is a permissions issue. I was able to execute a batch file from a tag event script if I allowed the Ignition service to interact with the desktop. However, I was prompted to view a message before it would run in its own window. It would not be very desirable to run it in this…
