Why would my script run in XP and not 2k server or 2k3 server?

[gte]

This is the first time I've encountered this?

I'm using an unzip function by trancexx that uses a file from XP (com call I believe), could this be causing it? None of the executable is auto running, it should just launch my gui at first?

The application launches, but only appears in the taskbar, and I can't do anything with it.

Try eliminating method to cut down your big script to some smaller reproducing script.

Also add logging capability - cretae LOG file and write to it every important times/places of your running script.

After running just look at created LOG and you will see where is problem.

Great advice.

I cut out all but the variables, and it still did the same thing.

Then I made a basic input box and it still did the same thing.

Then I realized it was starting off screen, and I had to right click and choose move?

Any idea what could cause the exe to start off screen?

Probably $Form1 = GUICreate("Stress Test and Library List Application", 651, 372, 1646, 235)

Eh

I'm an idiot, I'll leave this embarrassing post up so that maybe a few people can get a good laugh

It was this line

$Form1 = GUICreate("Stress Test and Library List Application", 651, 372, 350, 350)

which was originally

$Form1 = GUICreate("Stress Test and Library List Application", 651, 372, 1646, 235)

and started the app on my dual monitor system in the proper location, but not in the proper location when using remote desktop

Thanks trance, I figured this out as you were posting, I feel pwnt

Probably $Form1 = GUICreate("Stress Test and Library List Application", 651, 372, 1646, 235)
