Remote execution using psexec

[dalevine]

Add an option to set the working directory. Currently the default directory (\windows\system32) is the working directory when the remote program is executed.

On the psexec command line, this uses the -w option.

VBP does pass the Start In folder to psexec -w for remote execution.

That option exists when remotely executing a batch file or an external program, but it does not appear to exist in the VisBuildPro Project command.

Is there any way of accomplishing this from that command?

You could pass the path in as a parameter and use that in a Set Current Dir at the start of the project being called.

We'll also consider adding an explicit option for that in the VisBuildPro Project action.

Thanks.

I am doing what you suggested about setting the current directory, but it took me quite a while to figure out that was the only way I could do it.

An option for setting the current working directory would be very helpful.

Thanks

This is implemented in v7.5.
