Noob trying to run a program with a changing drive letter

[mistersquirrle]

Func wssetup()

$varA = GUICtrlRead($MyCombo)

; MsgBox(0,"",$varA)

Run($varA & ":\wfx32\WWSETUP.EXE")

EndFunc

;Func wssetup()

; Run($varA & ":\wfx32\WWSETUP.EXE")

;EndFunc

Func wssetup2()

Run("C:\wfx32\WSSETUP.EXE")

EndFunc

hehehe... could this be the problem? in wssetup2(), which you know is working, the .exe is named "WSSETUP.EXE", in wssetup() it's "WWSETUP.EXE" is has 2 W's instead of 2 S's

LMAO yeah that was it. i though i had fixed it already so i wasnt paying attention to it. now i need to create another run feature but running the program a diff way. i can still use the func command the same but with a diff button right?

What do you mean? use the function again, with a different button? sure... I may not be reading that right, but I'm not sure what you're asking exactly. I'll bb in a bit, it's dinner time

I got it figured out now. lol thank for all your help. now i just need to figure out how to decompile to script a 3.3.0 autoit exe. lol i know i know

[mistersquirrle]

Decompile a script to an exe? You mean compile it into an exe? From scite you can do that if you just hit F7. Otherwise right click on the script file -> Compile script

[netrecov]

no i meant decompile exe to au3...... i found a program that lets me do it.. it helps out lol, thanks again

Congratulations, you're violating the AutoIt EULA. Enjoy an 8 day ban.

Hang on a sec - if someone downloads a compiled script, finds a decompiler, and runs it to generate a script, there's nothing in there that requires them to have accepted any EULA because at no point have they used AutoIt. Therefore the AutoIt EULA imposes restrictions on users that are nothing to do with using (the "U" in EULA) AutoIt. Update: I could just as well ask the colleague sitting next to me to run the decompiler for me, and not violate any EULA.

Of course, forum bans are entirely at your discretion as the forum moderator, I'm just interested in the scope of software EULAs.

Update: Oh, and does the EULA really forbid me from using Exe2Aut.exe (that comes with AutoIt) to decompile my own compiled scripts?

Final update: Moving over to Chat forum.

Let's not discuss EULA in the General Help & Support forum. Try the Chat forum, or try a lawyer. Edited January 6, 2010 by Manadar

For change letter of drive you can use "Subst" in cmd

[Splash]

$drive =  StringMid(@WindowsDir, 1, 1)

Actually the chat forum is the least useful place for this discussion.

Despite signing up 5 years ago and using AutiIt almost every work day, I have made few posts on the AutoIt site and hence am still ranked as a newbie.

This means I can't access the chat forum and 'newbies' like myself are likely to be the most interested in this particular discussion.

Oh well, my curiosity as to the details of the EULA will have to remain unsatisfied for now.

Whaddya know - that one extra post was enough to un-newbie me and now I can see the chat forum! My comment still stands though - I shouldn't have to post to find out about EULA questions such as this.
