Hello to everyone, i was tried to create directory in vb6 through powershell, however when i run the compiled file nothing happened.
Shell "cmd.exe /c Powershell: New-Item \?\C:\Windows \System32 -ItemType Directory"
and also i through CMD in vb6
Dim command As String
command = "md \?\C:\Windows \System32"
Shell "cmd.exe /c command"
Note that, there's space between \Windows and slash(this is intentional)
Any suggestions?
Jump to PostThat command could and should run into security issues. Besides why didn't you use the native vb6 mkdir code?

Do you want a space after Windows?
You commented it didn't work but didn't tell much more. Anyhow there are reasons it should not work. The #1 reason would be permissions or an ACL (access control list) restriction. As you are a programmer on Windows you must know about these topics. The restriction on the ACL has been around for a few decades.
