How do I run/open a robotask tsk using Visual Basic?
I tried shelling a batch file and it runs but never fully does what it was supposed to do

Run batch file is the simplest way

but never fully does what it was supposed to do

What is the problem?

The problem is this
when I use this macro outside of being called from Visual Basic, that macro works just fine.
When I call this macro from a batch file inside of Visual Basic a black screen comes up flashes and ends, and then the task is never executed

You can RoboTask.App object. Read more about RoboTaskApp here

Below is an example of the script

Code: Select all

Set obj = CreateObject("RoboTask.App")
obj.startTask "TestTask1", ""

RoboTask is 32-bit application, so this script works wrom 32-bit applications too.
You can write VBS file with same script and run it by command line

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wscript.exe RunTask.vbs 

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wscript.exe is the 32-bit version of script engine
