ShellExecute in NT [resolved]

[aidan]

I have been trying to create thumbnails of pictures automatically in VB using IrfanView. The code I use is down below:

Call ShellExecute(0, "", "I:\Irfan\i_view32.exe", inPath & " /resample=(0,100) /convert=" & outPath & " /silent", "C:\", 1)

inPath and outPath are the filenames (these can't contain any spaces).

The problem is that it works fine on Windows 2000 machines, but when I run it on NT machines, nothing happens. Does anyone have any idea why this might be?

Thanks

Aidan

you have the correct permisions to the drive, and the resigtry hasnt got no drives on true?

I have an answer - if I put "open" into the second argument, instead of leaving it blank then it works in NT. This does not seem to be necessary in 2000. I don't know why this should be the case but it is.

This only works in 2000

Call ShellExecute(0, "", "I:\Irfan\i_view32.exe", inPath & " /resample=(0,100) /convert=" & outPath & " /silent", "C:\", 1)

This works in NT & 2000

Call ShellExecute(0, "open", "I:\Irfan\i_view32.exe", inPath & " /resample=(0,100) /convert=" & outPath & " /silent", "C:\", 1)
