well cmd files are auto executing, so it would be somthing like

run( ' "[path]\filename.cmd" [switches]')

if it's msi

run('msiexec /i "[path]\filename.msi" /qn')

i got it all worked out now, im not using the cmd files, i did it all in AU3

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'start /w c:\installs\wrar3501.exe /s', "", @SW_HIDE)

thats part of the code, this is what i originally needed

hmm that could also be written like so:

RunWait( 'c:\installs\wrar3501.exe /s' )

yes, ur right, i have no clue what i was trying before, so hard to relearn all of the stuff that i have forgotten

You need to use this syntax:

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'start /w c:\installs\wrar3501.exe /s', "", @SW_HIDE)

When you run something like "net" or "copy"...built-in commands. Or so I've been told
