Can't start external program

[Deathboy]

I wanted to put the compiled file (.exe file) in a folder with another file and make the program I made start it

Run(@AutoItExe & " /c Start VW-AU")

Run(@AutoItExe & " /c Start VW-AU.exe")

run("VW-AU")

run("VW-AU.exe")

run("F:\VW-AU")

run("F:\VW-AU.exe")

<--- Ive tried those 6things to get the VW-AU.exe to start but It just wont do it.

I tried with other applications too without any result.

I made a 1line script just to try and open the file but I can't, any help would be appreciated, thanks

EDIT:

Forogt to mention that it is shortcuts I'm trying to start, does that have anything to say? (sees that filetype: shortcut, instead of program wich ist is on main program)

Try

ShellExecute("F:\VW-AU.exe")

I've had this issue before. Make sure your setting the working directory for the binary.

Example:

Run("Program Path + Program.exe", "Program Path", @SW_SHOW)

Example 2:

Run("C:\Windows\NOTEPAD.exe", "C:\Windows\", @SW_SHOW)
