Error Running #COMMAND /C Capture.exe from Login Script

ID: Q154707

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.51, 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Error 255 is reported in line 668 of Spool.c when the login script containing the following line is run:


   #COMMAND /c CAPTURE /S=servername /Q=quename

CAUSE

Capture.exe is not a supported application; it often fails when run from the command prompt. The login script processor does not actually run Capture.exe. Instead, it parses the command #CAPTURE and works in the background. Therefore, when you use the above command, you are running the actual Capture.exe file.

This is by design.

RESOLUTION

Replace the above line with the following:


   #CAPTURE /S=<servername> /Q=<queuename>
