Code: Select all
Run("C:\\Windows\\System32\\services.msc")
Run("C:\\Windows\\System32\\net.exe","stop wuauserv",{Verb="runas"})
NPrint("Now press refresh button in Services window")

Maybe your "write" command depends from anything in the environment (path for example) that the Hollywood script does not know?
