Timeout issue?

[IFG_Infra]

I created a script that will copy data using fastcopy. As a .ps1 file it executes perfectly. When I convert it to a .exe it runs as expected, but once fastcopy has been running for 260 seconds my .exe just dies. Fastcopy is still running, but my .exe ends before it moves to the next step. Is this some sort of built in timeout?

The packager doesn't have a timeout, but PowerShell may have one. This could also depend on the cmdlets you are using.

FYI: You can use a message box to hold to script (see: msgbox snippet).

My app isn't a form. I didn't get that fancy with this one as it is just a home drive migration app. I guess when running &.\fastcopy.exe... powershell doesn't wait for the process to end? In the app it waited 260 seconds consistently, and in the .ps1 it would wait about 900 seconds... then crap out. I changed it up a bit and did a $app = start-process with -passthru parameter. Then did a wait-process $app.id... that did it.

I'm glad you were able to resolve the issue. The script doesn't have to be a form to use the MessageBox
