Hi, peethebee I'm triyng to get your graph script, but I'm not finding thm. Can you give me the adress and name? I visited the address above, but could'n find them.

I did many tests, deactivating the antivirus, comenting any "run" command, and nothing worked. So, I did this small script and even with it and antivirus deactivated, all problems continue, that is: - the .exe is in a win98 PC - in a PC with XP, in windows explorer, I go thru the network up to the folder where the .exe is - double clik it, and receive the message. - If I go locally to that win98 and in explorer double click it , it works fine - If I seat in another win98, explorer thru network, double clik, it works OK The test script: ;test program for "application configuration is incorrect" Global $test1, $test2 $test1= "test was OK" $test2= "this message will appear IF there is no problem in runing this program."&@cr& _ "The .exe must reside in a folder in win98 and the client is a XP" &@cr& _ "Just open the explorer in XP, go thru network to that folder and double click on the .exe" MsgBox(4096,$test1, $test2 & @crlf & "end of this single message")

Cris and Larry, thanks for your advice This monday, at office, I will try 1) stoping AVG and 2) putting the working dir I would like to tell some words about AutoIt. First, I work/worked with prog. languages more yeas than I would like to tell (Jurassic?). Well, assembler in PDP11, IBM360, 370, 1130 and DOS and starting with the new PIC processors. Fortran, basic, PL1, Algol, Cobol, gembase, Basic, a little VB, Pascal, Java & Javascript, and so on. Also I tried for a while macro Scheduler (not very sucessfull). AutoIt surprises me.... besides it's stability (even with all that commands that interact with the OS) there is the beauty, correctness and ortogonality of the language. Not to mention things like StringInString, the ocurrance option with backwards search. I would like to thanks and congratulate the individuals that devise and made this jewel. I only can believe these guys are very clever and/or have lots of experience. Could not let to mention all the attention I'm receiving at this forum.... great and thanks

All the shortcuts are OK, as from a Client win98 it works OK. But I didn't specified working dir in any run. I will do it this monday. I'm calling external programs (run), done by myself in VB, blat.exe (for emails) and another autoit .exe. I'm not using any environment variables (at least not declared or used any). I'm not calling any DOS program. But I'm running the autoit .exe directly with a double clik in explorer, after navigating the network. But remember, it works well when the client is w98 and always when the .exe is in a wXP.

In fact, both computers have antivirus, but, I don't think this is the problem, as none the AV flagged te .exe. ANd, when I'm in a win98 Client, it runs (AV=AVG lite)

Dave Thanks for your advice, inside the scripts I tested always there where run with no working directory specified. I will test it putting working dir. But, one thing intrigues me. I'm double cliking in the script .exe and not starting it thru another script, and receive imediatedly the message. The "run" inside the script would execute much later, after a GUI show and only if I select a specific option on it.

Ok, Greenseed for yoru advice. But, as it hapens with ANY AU3 compiled .exe, and does NOT hapens with others .exe I tested, I think it could be a bug, or something like that. Why au3's .exe have this behavior?

Trying to run a compiled program, in some situations gives the message: "This aplication has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect." The situation whe it gives the message: - The file server where the .exe is located is a win 98 or win ME and the user PC is a Win XP, using explore and double cliking the .exe - any other .exe tested (not a AutoiT compiled one) works fine The same .exe runs OK if: - the file server is a win XP or Linux file server with samba - the Client (user PC) is win 98, no matter the file server it runs OK Anyone have an idea of what is goin on?
