Revo Uninstaller commandline Topic is solved

[PuzzledGreatly]

I have revo uninstaller a3.2 and it has a commandline program, RevoCmd.exe. I've been trying to use ahk to run it to export a list of installed programs in html format but I can't get my command to produce a result:

Code: Select all

run,  C:\Program Files\VS Revo Group\Revo Uninstaller Pro\RevoCmd.exe /export "c:\test.html" /all /html

I see the command line box open and close but no file is saved.

The revo help file has:

Syntax:

RevoUninPro /export "Full export path" /all /traced /txt /xls /htm
where the parameters are:
/export - "Full path to the export file where the exported data will b
/all - "Export the list of all programs"
/traced - "Export the list of traced programs"
/txt - "Export the data in TXT file format - text file"
/xls - "Export the data in XLS file format - Microsoft Excel file"
/html - "Export the data in HTML file format - html file"

Example:
RevoUninPro /export "C:\My data\allprograms.txt" /all /txt

Does anyone know how I can get this to work? Thanks.

It is advisable to put quotes around the path\program to run:

Code: Select all

run,  "C:\Program Files\VS Revo Group\Revo Uninstaller Pro\RevoCmd.exe" /export "c:\test.html" /all /html

Edit: Without quotes AutoHotkey will try to guess what you want to run and occasionally get it wrong.

Also Windows generally doesn’t like you writing files directly to c:\

Thanks for the reply, I should have mentioned that I tried the one you suggested and to a different drive. I've also tried putting quotes around everything , the verb *runas to run as admin and %ComSpec% but can't get a result.

Code: Select all

run,  cmd /k "C:\Program Files\VS Revo Group\Revo Uninstaller Pro\RevoCmd.exe" /export "c:\test.html" /all /html

See if there is any error messages in the cmd window.

Thanks for the reply, the cmd window closes too quickly for me to see any messages and adding cmd /k didn't make any difference. Is that in the help manual. I couldn't find it.

Edit:

When I added extra quotes as follows the cmd window stayed open and I saw a list of installed programs but no file is saved:

Code: Select all

!F10:: run,  cmd /k ""C:\Program Files\VS Revo Group\Revo Uninstaller Pro\RevoCmd.exe" /export "d:\test.html" /all /html"

I just installed "Revo Uninstaller Pro", executing RevoCmd.exe /? output this:

RevoCmd.png (16.08 KiB) Viewed 2156 times

There are no /export /all /html options. These options are coming from RevoUninPro.exe, not RevoCmd.exe.

Code: Select all

RunWait, "C:\Program Files\VS Revo Group\Revo Uninstaller Pro\RevoUninPro.exe" /export "d:\test.html" /all /html
Run % "d:\test.html"
ExitApp

Thanks very much for taking the trouble to download and test Revo and for clearing up my confusion about which program to use. I couldn't follow what the help file was saying. Your code worked. Thanks again.
