the error;

When i click multiplayer for Mw3, it says Could not start process 'iw5mp_ceg.exe' (null)(0x80041002) can someone please help? Yes it can, but its not common. Most devices that do not have information or correct 'calculations' on a new number or data added to the device set it as a 'null' notification. Dec 20, 2011  Ummm. When i click multiplayer for Mw3, it says Could not start process 'iw5mp_ceg.exe' (null)(0x80041002) can someone please help?

however, this works just fine.

NOTE: this is when executing from within PowerGUI or the ISE ide'sThe file fb2956d7-87fc-4235-9f3c-742698cafe9f.ps1 does exist at the path location, so for some reason the ide is having dificulty with this. Yet it DOES work when ran directly within the power shell command prompt/shell.I was logged in with a local machine account that is running as local admin, the script directs execution to a domain account which does not have admin rights and would run with just user permissions.

Is this a bug, since as a developer the IDE should not be tripped up by this as it works when i run the block in the powershell command prompt window??

I have the same bug.

This function is OK with Powershell ISE, but doesn't work with PowerGUI

It works with the WorkingDirectory parameter

This is a weird one but I recreated the error and this fixed it..

Basically, modify the start-in directory for Powershell_ISE (or PowerGUI!) to a system-wide value.

I know this is rather late, but the thread helped me (particulary the suggestion from @Dionysoos), and hope my answer might help others.

I had the same error..

..when running a script unattended, while it was working in the ISE.

The unattended script was using the user-specific $env:TEMP as the working directory which meant that the new process did not have access to it. Specifying -WorkingDirectory $env:windir on the Start-Process command resolved the issue.

The best explanation of the problem is buried in a comment by Nathan Hartley, so let me summarize it here:

The issue is solely related to filesystem permissions, and has nothing to do with the host environment (console vs. ISE):

• When you use Start-Process without specifying a target directory with -WorkingDirectory, PowerShell's current location (directory) is used for the target process as well.

• Since you're using -Credential to run as a different user - without elevation at that point - the target user may lack permission to access the current directory, which happens if the current directory is inside the current user's home directory subtree, for instance.

  • Unfortunately, PowerShell's error message obscures this cause by misleadingly reporting: The directory name is invalid.

Fix:

• Either make sure that the current location is accessible to the target user,
• or, preferably, use the -WorkingDirectory parameter to explicitly set the target process's current directory.

For instance, to start the target process from the directory in which a target script is located, you could use something like:

I know this might be a bit late, but are you running that command when the current directory is a network path? I have experienced this as a problem and if I run the same command from a system drive it works.

Still had issue with setting -WorkingDirectory to exe directory..found that setting -WorkingDirectory to C:WindowsSystem32 and used fq path to exe worked.
