How to solve the 'SHELLEXEC' error?

[Nemare30]

Hello,

I have the following error: FAILED UNDER THE FOLLOWING ERROR: irpa_core.verbExec 'SHELLEXEC': TypeError Lancement process cmd, 8 Not enough storage is available to process this command.

Please if you can help me with a solution.

Could you clarify the exact context, which software it is, what are you doing, what is "Lancement"? Any single information would be nice to have.

EDIT: I find other same questions, so I post again one thread "Have you enabled the RPA plugin on your [...] browser according to the following docs:" Configuring Web Browsers | SAP Help Portal and another one: "If there is a popup in the browser, make sure to get rid of the popup first."

Hi @Nemare30 ,

Could you please send here what is the command you are trying to run with Process Automation?

Please check the following documentation:

https://help.sap.com/docs/intelligent-robotic-process-automation/cloud-studio-user-guide/execute-com...

And see if you have entered the parameters according to the best practices. Apparently you are missing a '/c' as parameter which will instruct the task execution to terminate after it has completed, like so:

cmd.exe /c echo Hello

If you are using a 'start.exe', try setting an empty Windows Handle, like so:

start.exe "" /wait script.bat bat-param-here

If it still fails, I suspect that your Windows installation may be damaged. 

Please consider checking the following answer found at Microsoft:

Hi @Nemare30,

It seems that your windows System is having an issue which is not related to the Agent installation nor any of the BTP services such as Build Process Automation. Therefore, as a first rule of thumb, check with your IT guys and see if they are able to provide a solution to your problem. Chances are you have a bad Windows installation and that you will need a fresh install to begin with.

However, if you are the IT guy and you want to spend a lot of time trying to fix this issue, here are some pointers which I cannot guarantee will work on your particular case.

Spoiler

The following actions may damage your Windows installation and can make it unstable or render it unusable.
I am assuming you know what you are doing and that you have backup procedures in place.
Do them at your own risk.

1) You can see if Windows is able to fix itself by performing a self-scan with the following command as Administrator:

sfc /scannow

Then following the tool instructions if prompted.

Here is what the command does according to Microsoft:

Scans integrity of all protected system files and repairs files with problems when possible.

2) The Windows Registry may be missing the key IRPStackSize at LanmanServer which may cause the error message. Please read the below answer:

3) Read the following blog on other possible solutions:

Best regards,

The software is Intelligent Robotic Process Automation, the error occurs when executing a Robot.
