This is triple double quote.

Double double quote :

Dim path as string = ""C:\\Users\\Sascha\\AppData\\Local\\JDownloader 2.0\\JDownloader.jar""

Or

Dim path as string = chr(34)+"C:\\Users\\Sascha\\AppData\\Local\\JDownloader 2.0\\JDownloader.jar"+chr(34)
22

Triple quote is correct.

23

Its not Xojo that doesn’t like the path - it doesn’t care as it just hands this off to the OS shell to execute
The SHELL hates the paths as its not quoted properly
It would be a lot easier if you stuck this in a string like

 dim cmd as string = """C:\\Users\\Sascha\\AppData\\Local\\JDownloader 2.0\\jre\\bin\\javaw.exe"""
 break
 sh.Execute(cmd, path)

then see if the cmd is properly quoted when you got to the break point

24

There is another way than the messy multiple quotes : paste the exact parameter line, together with the quotes, in a constant.

25

Xojo has no issue with the path
Its the SHELL trying to execute the invalid path you’ve given it thats the issue

You really should use variables & the debugger to help yourself out

Dim sh As New Shell
Dim path as string = """C:\\Users\\Sascha\\AppData\\Local\\JDownloader 2.0\\JDownloader.jar"""
Dim arg as string = "-Djava.awt.headless=true -jar " + path
dim cmd as string = "C:\\Users\\Sascha\\AppData\\Local\\JDownloader 2.0\\jre\\bin\\javaw.exe"
break
sh.Execute(cmd, path)

And if you look the CMD should be quoted (as it contains spaces) but isn’t and requires the same quoting as the arguments
And thats the command shell complaining about it not being quoted

try

Dim sh As New Shell
Dim path as string = """C:\\Users\\Sascha\\AppData\\Local\\JDownloader 2.0\\JDownloader.jar"""
Dim arg as string = "-Djava.awt.headless=true -jar " + path
dim cmd as string = """C:\\Users\\Sascha\\AppData\\Local\\JDownloader 2.0\\jre\\bin\\javaw.exe"""
break
sh.Execute(cmd, path)

i tried it and xojo shows me this:

the command seems to be correct.

so it still dont work … the messagebox is complaining about the path

so i checked my working Visual Studio project and run it…as you see here is the shell working correctly with the same command. So i dont understand xojo here…

27

so it seems there is no solution for this?

28

What happens if you try the exact same command in the Command Prompt ?

never used jdownloader but it strikes me the right code is

Dim sh As New Shell
Dim arg as string = “-Djava.awt.headless=true -jar ““C:\Users\Sascha\AppData\Local\JDownloader 2.0\JDownloader.jar”””
dim cmd as string = “”“C:\Users\Sascha\AppData\Local\JDownloader 2.0\jre\bin\javaw.exe”""
break
sh.Execute(cmd, arg)

which looks like it should run this headless which the shell would like a lot better

It works :o … like i wrote.

"C:\\Users\\Sascha\\AppData\\Local\\JDownloader 2.0\\jre\\bin\\javaw.exe" -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar "C:\\Users\\Sascha\\AppData\\Local\\JDownloader 2.0\\JDownloader.jar" pause

this is a batchfile… works easy.

Doesnt work, the result says something like the messagebox pic above. For me that seems to be a Xojo bug… the shell works normally with batch and VisualStudio works normally too :frowning:

If it is always the same command you run, just place it into a batch and call the batch from Xojo.

Bear in mind that Shell <> Command LIne. The environment in a shell is not the same as a logged in user. You have to be much more explicit about things like the search path and environment variables. Basically, the mantra for shell programming is: define everything.
