compiled exe does not work correctly

[ferrari987]

Hey there,

i have a problem with the following script:

If ProcessExists("firefox.exe") Then
    MsgBox(0,"no","no")
Else
    MsgBox(0,"yes","yes")
    ;run("C:\Program Files\ShrewSoft\VPN Client\ipseca.exe")
EndIf
    
Exit

If a run it from the editor by Tools -> go it works as intended.

When I run the compiled .exe I always get "no" no matter if firefox.exe is running or not.

My system is: Windows 7 64bit.

Thanks for your advice.

Probably the same in Vista, too. Add #RequireAdmin to the top of the script.

Thanks but no change

If you press CTRL-ALT-DELETE together and invoke task manager, do you see 'firefox.exe' in the task list? Foreground or background?

Yes it is there. The problem is: the compiled exe acts, as if firefox.exe was running, even if it is 100% not running.

What did you call your script?

Oh, I wish I had thought of that. Nice catch, Jos!
