launch application %systemroot% doesn't work

[lappen]

works in cli
%systemroot%\ehome\ehshell.exe /entrypoint:{ce32c570-4bec-4aeb-ad1d-cf47b91de0b2}\{fc9abccc-36cb-47ac-8bab-03e8ef5f6f22}

doesn't work in eventghost

have added
executable: %systemroot%\ehome\ehshell.exe
cli options: /entrypoint:{ce32c570-4bec-4aeb-ad1d-cf47b91de0b2}\{fc9abccc-36cb-47ac-8bab-03e8ef5f6f22}
working dir: %systemroot%\ehome\

Also tried other variations to no avail, not sure if bug or if I use it incorrectly.

Code: Select all

EDIT :
This is the full shortcut I want to use in the end
%systemroot%\ehome\ehshell.exe /directmedia:general /nochrome /controlbox:None /entrypoint:{ce32c570-4bec-4aeb-ad1d-cf47b91de0b2}\{fc9abccc-36cb-47ac-8bab-03e8ef5f6f22}

I think EventGhost is trying to interpret {ce32c570-4bec-4aeb-ad1d-cf47b91de0b2}\{fc9abccc-36cb-47ac-8bab-03e8ef5f6f22} as Python code, add an extra "{" to it, I think it should work then.

I should have tested it before posting, but I was going to bed, try this with both "{" doubled.

That did it

/directmedia:general /nochrome /controlbox:None /entrypoint:{{ce32c570-4bec-4aeb-ad1d-cf47b91de0b2}\{{fc9abccc-36cb-47ac-8bab-03e8ef5f6f22}

Any idea how to solve the %systemroot%\ehome\ehshell.exe as it can't find the executable when using %systemroot% , I could change it to c:\windows\ehome\ehshell.exe if it's not possible to use systemroot.

Thanks for the help

Great

My guess is that the Start application just doesn't support environment variables.
