copied!<p>I am writing a script which checks for a registry value and and exits if is 0. (It will proceed if the value is 1.)</p> <pre><code> if ((Get-ItemProperty -path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\ICT\LoginScript).proceed -eq 0) { $form.close() exit } </code></pre> <p>When I run the script with the reg value at 0, it fails to exit and throws an exception instead:</p> <pre><code>System.Management.Automation.ExitException: System error. at System.Management.Automation.FlowControlNode.Execute(Array input, Pipe outputPipe, ExecutionContext context) at System.Management.Automation.ParseTreeNode.Execute(Array input, Pipe outputPipe, ArrayList& resultList, ExecutionContext context) at System.Management.Automation.StatementListNode.ExecuteStatement(ParseTreeNode statement, Array input, Pipe outputPipe, ArrayList& resultList, ExecutionContext context) at System.Management.Automation.StatementListNode.Execute(Array input, Pipe outputPipe, ArrayList& resultList, ExecutionContext context) ... </code></pre> <p>The script is using windows forms - not sure if that is relevant?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>I have reduced the script to the following to test:</p> <pre><code>[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms") $Form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form $Form.Add_Shown({ $Form.Activate(); start-sleep -s 3; exit; $form.close() }) $Form.ShowDialog() </code></pre> <p>And this still gives the error. If I run the <code>start-sleep -s 3; exit</code> code on a non-windows form it works fine, so it looks like the issue is tied in with Windows Forms.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Ben</p>
