I'm trying to open up a Unity3D game.exe that is on a remote computer through my main desktop. I had tried to do this through a batch file, but was advised to try PsExec in its place.

So far, I've brought the Psexec program into my game.exe folder. I run the command line required to open the program and the window opens up for a fraction of a second before closing down due to an error. The error code it gives is: -1073740771.

I tried googling what this error actually is but I can't find anything. Does anyone know what this error relates to?

The command line I type is as follows:

psexec \\OtherComputer -i C:\Administrator\Users\Desktop\TargetFolder\Target.exe

I even tried the above line with -d after the -i, quotes around the C:... but it all results in the same thing.

    Is your entire game self contained within game.exe? Or are there supporting DLLs, resources and so forth in other folders? – didster Oct 12 '12 at 14:32
  • It's a Unity game exe. So there is the main exe plus a folder containing the other resources it needs. – N0xus Oct 12 '12 at 14:36

PSExec wont know about other game resources that live without side the EXE. It will simply copy game.exe to the remote machine and execute it.

Try deleting or renaming the resource folder and running it on your local machine - it should do the same thing as its doing on the remote machine.

You cant do what you want with psexec unless the entire application is self contained within one single .exe file.

You may be able to manually copy the resource folders if you have admin access to the other machines and administrative shares are enabled, then execute with psexec using the -w option:

  • Copy the files to \\OtherComputer\C$\MyGame
  • Run psexec \\OtherComputer -w C:\MyGame -i C:\Administrator\Users\Desktop\TargetFolder\Target.exe

Might work ;o)

  • Thank you for that. I tried, but the same issue and error code appear. – N0xus Oct 12 '12 at 15:27
  • Copy and paste fingers went a bit mad there. Copy the entire lot to `\\OtherComputer\c$\MyGame` and then run `psexec \\OtherComputer -i -w C:\\MyGame C:\MyGame\\Target.exe`. Do you mind if I ask why you are trying to do this? Playing from a-far?! – didster Oct 12 '12 at 18:39

Use the -h parameter to elevate the permissions.
