Can't use Run command to start 3DMark06.exe

[czhe]

Hi all,

This is my first time using AutoIt, so please bare with me

I've played around with the Run command and I'm able to start all kinds of .exe files in any directory. However, I can't do it for 3DMark06. I know the program is working as I can run it manually and execute any test, but when I use the script:

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Futuremark\3DMark06\3DMark06.exe")

When I run this code I get this error pop-up:

I'm not sure what it's trying to do here.

Any help is appreciated . Thanks!

Try setting the working directory parameter so it runs at the correct place. As it is, when you use run, the called program's owrking directory is the same as the calling script's.

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Futuremark\3DMark06\3DMark06.exe", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Futuremark\3DMark06")

EDIT: Bah. Too slow in typing.

3DMark06 is trying to find the files it needs in order to run, but it is looking in the wrong place. You need to set the proper working directory in your Run() statement.

Try setting the working directory parameter so it runs at the correct place. As it is, when you use run, the called program's owrking directory is the same as the calling script's.

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Futuremark\3DMark06\3DMark06.exe", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Futuremark\3DMark06")

Thanks very much to you both!
