![]() ![]() Luckily there's a workaround as the get-help command above states: TO PERMIT SIGNED SCRIPTS TO RUN ![]() Type get-help about_signing at the PS prompt to know more about this, including how to self sign your scripts and so on. ![]() By default, unsigned PS scripts cannot be executed in Windows for security reasons. $cd::mciSendStringA("set cdaudio door closed", $null, 0, 0) $cd::mciSendStringA('set cdaudio door open', $null, 0, 0) Ģ) Save the following as CD_Close.ps1: $cd = Add-Type -memberDefinition CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)] public static extern int mciSendStringA(string lpstrCommand, string lpstrReturnString, int uReturnLength, IntPtr -passthru -name mciSendString Windows\System32\WinMM.dll should be available as part of the default installation in XP+.ġ) Save the following as CD_Open.ps1: $cd = Add-Type -memberDefinition CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)] public static extern int mciSendStringA(string lpstrCommand, string lpstrReturnString, int uReturnLength, IntPtr -passthru -name mciSendString ![]() Thus the following should work out of the box in Windows 7+ that comes with PS pre-installed, and on XP/Vista after PS is installed. However, since VBScript does not support calling normal Windows API functions or even functions from arbitrary DLLs, that leaves us with PowerShell. I don't know whether the latest versions of WMP include an OCX with similar functionality or not, plus disabling/uninstalling it via Windows Features might interfere with the functioning of the script in any case.Ī common way to implement this functionality via code is by using the Media Control Interface (MCI) APIs (specifically, the set command). All the VBScript solutions I've seen so far use an outdated Windows Media Player OCX. The only way to do this IMO without the use of 3 rd party utils (such as NirCmd and Wizmo) would be via VBScript or PowerShell. ![]()
