Hi all!

I am trying to use an Execute Script task, but it seems that, if my vbs file is in a folder with spaces in the name, the file is not found. Is this a limitation of Visualcron or am I doing something wrong? I have to host my file in an existing folder structure, and some of the folder have spaces in their names.
Thanks!

Try using double quotes around the path like:

"c:\folder one\file.vbs"

That did it! Thanks! You may want to have that built into the tool. It is not obvious since I am selecting from a window box.
😁 Thanks again!

You are right, we will probably add that.

Hello,
I'm using the version 5.7.4.
My path have some space. d:\scheduled tasks\schedule 1\script.vbs

With double quote, I received this : Exception in Task: Script file not found.
Without double quote: Input Error: There is no file extension in "D:\Scheduled".

Have you some idea?

Thanks for your help

I assume d:\ is a local drive?

Sounds strange, could you provide a screen shot of the path. It is probably double spaces somewhere.

See attached. I used the browse button to be sure, I added the quotes after.

File path: "D:\Scheduled Tasks\msl.vbs"

I assume you are using some parameters to your script (which is not shown in the images)?

standard options:
No parameters.

I tested with UNC path "\\isoapp100\D$\Scheduled Tasks\msl.vbs"
and LOCAL path "D:\Scheduled Tasks\msl.vbs"

I installed this version (5.7.5.3) on a test server. It's fully working...
Is it the final build?

Thanks for your help.

It is not the final build but that should not be a problem. We hope to release this soon when we have finished off a bigger feature.

Henrik,
I tried the final 5.7.5 (published on your web). It's not more functioning. Is it plan for 5.7.6?
Thanks
