writing a program to use with nsExec

I'm trying to develop an executable using vb so that I can access and query my MySQL database. I need to send an email and password to the server to verify connection and was wondering how to define the parameters to be sent to the program. Should I write a different function for email and password or do they need to be separate classes? Thanks in advance 🙂

This is a VB question or NSIS question?

If you want to use nsExec with your VB app and pass email/password to it then it is simple:
nsExec::Exec '"path\your_app.exe" -email=st@st.xy -pwd=1234'
Pop $0 # return value/error/timeout

All what your VB app needs is to read parameters from command line - it does not matter you have 2 classes or 2 functions or whatever.

Thanks a lot. I figured it would be easier then I was making it out to be.

I tried this method and in the VB script the first thing i do is read from the command line and set it into a variable but it is timing out saying there is no input. Does it literaly write the parameter to the command line? Here is my script.

nsExec::ExecToLog '"C:\path\vbProgram.exe" -email=$Email'

fixed the issue 🙂 thanks
