I am using the FCIV ( Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier ) executable to automatically calculate checksums for certain files.

I want to invoke this executable within a powershell script. This is my snippet within Powershell.

& "Path to FCIV.exe" –add "Base Dir" -bp "Base Dir" -r –xml "Path to XML"

This commands basically recurses and calculates checksums for all files under "Base Dir" and then outputs into an XML file. I am able to execute this command on Powershell prompt. But when I add this line into a script and execute the script, I get this error.

–add\*
    Error msg  : The system cannot find the path specified.
    Error code : 3

I have tried everything from adding FCIV to PATH environment variable as well as providing the whole path to files.

Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

Enclose your whole command in single quotes & ' "exe" -param "path" ... ' – Jan Chrbolka Mar 24 '15 at 03:02
This did not help either. – rjv_09 Mar 24 '15 at 06:36
@JanChrbolka - I was able to resolve this by trial and error. I didn't add double quotes to the parameters. - & "Path to FCIV.exe" –add Base Dir – rjv_09 Mar 24 '15 at 07:00
