Run Error

[k66any 0]

Hi All

I am trying to run an exe but having difficulty, Just wondered if there was something else i could try. When i go to start/Run and input this manually it seems to work fine, just not with Autoit.

Run ("C:\Program Files\TW51\TW5.exe")

The error i get back

"The file 'CIPHER34.DLL' is not installed" and "Unable to locate CIPHER33.DLL"

I am not completely experienced with dll's but I have had a similar problem before with a different program, after checking the properties of the shortcut to the program, I found that the program called for a kicker utility to fire first that primed a dll. Maybe check the actual target in properties of the shortcut that starts the program and see if it requires a kicker to fire first. Than I found that I had to start the kicker with ShellExectue() rather than run() in order for it to work properly.

The app probably need the working dir set (second parameter of Run, see helpfile).

Maybe:

Run("C:\Program Files\TW51\TW5.exe", "C:\Program Files\TW51")

Or look at a shortcut for the app where it points.
