thanks but how?
i can use it for one variable..what about multi variables
Code: Select all
$a = input("ShutDown Timer", "1h=3600);run "cmd /k ""Shutdown -r -f -t $a&exit"""

By using a divider if you want to use only one input for all three values.
E.g.:
Code: Select all
$delim = "|";
$vhdScriptName = "%temp%\~vhdScript.txt";
$values = input("Input values...", "The delimiter is: " . $delim . "<crlf>1.) .vhd file name<crlf>2.) maximum<crlf>3. drive letter", "C:\vdisks\disk1.vhd|16000|g", , , 600, 200);
$vhdFile = gettoken($values, 1, $delim);
$vhdFolder = getpathcomponent($vhdFile, "path");
$maximum = gettoken($values, 2, $delim);
$driveLetter = gettoken($values, 3, $delim);
if (exists($vhdFolder) == 0) { new($vhdFolder, "dir"); }
$vhdScriptContent = <<<>>>
create vdisk file="$vhdFile" maximum=$maximum
attach vdisk
create partition primary
assign letter=$driveLetter
format
>>>;
writefile($vhdScriptName, $vhdScriptContent);
run """DISKPART"" /s ""$vhdScriptName""", , 2, 1;
delete 0, 0, $vhdScriptName;
Untested but it should work.
Ofc you have to start it from an elevated XY (or use a vbscript that autoelevates it)...

It works for me...
1. You executed it from an ELEVATED XY instance?
2. The folder of the .vhd file was created?
What happens when you execute
diskpart /s <path to a .txt file, that contains the content of $vhdScriptContent (with resolved variable names)>
from a command prompt?
