Why is my script running over and over again? I'm not using loops

; Global variables
$sAdminUser = "testadmin"
$sAdminPass = "testpassword"
$sDomain = "AD"
$sSysVolDir = "\\ad.domain.com\sysvol\ad.domain.com\scripts"

msgbox(0, "it info", "running it info")
; Run ITInfo script
RunAsWait($sAdminUser, $sDomain, $sAdminPass, 0, @AutoItExe & " " & $sSysVolDir & "\ITInfo\ITInfoLogin.au3", @ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3", @SW_HIDE)
msgbox(0, "student", "it info just ran")

; Run primary login script based on account type
If StringRegExp(StringLeft(@UserName, 1), "\d") = 1 Or @UserName = "suser" Then ; if username begins with number or suser
    ; Account is a student user
    msgbox(0, "student", "im a student user")
    RunAsWait($sAdminUser, $sDomain, $sAdminPass, 0, @AutoItExe & " " & $sSysVolDir & "\StudentLogin.au3", @ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3", @SW_HIDE)
    msgbox(0, "student", "student just ran")
    Exit
Else
    ; Account is a staff user
    msgbox(0, "staff", "im a staff user")
    RunAsWait($sAdminUser, $sDomain, $sAdminPass, 0, @AutoItExe & " " & $sSysVolDir & "\StaffLogin.au3", @ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3", @SW_HIDE)
    msgbox(0, "student", "staff just ran")
    Exit
EndIf

I do not understand why my script is running over and over again. As soon as the first msgbox pops up and I click ok.. and new instance of the program is spawned. Why?

EDIT: It seems maybe it has something to do with the way it's being compiled. If I run the exact same code uncompiled on my XP machine everything works, but if I run an EXE compiled from a 2008R2 test VM the script runs over and over and over again.

I've even tried making sure that I'm compiling on the 2008R2 machine as a x86 but same result.

EDIT2: Ok, it seems as soon as I compile the script (regardless of what machine I compile it from) is where I am running into the issues. If I run the uncompiled script, it works normally. If I run the compiled EXE it runs over and over again. Exact same code!

What did you expect from having the script run itself with @AutoItExe in the RunAsWait() calls? The first instance runs a second copy of @AutoItExe, and the second then runs a third instance, etc.

Add some command line parameter handling so the script knows when it was called with parameters and should not launch itself again.

:unsure:

I think you're looking for this:

Form3: Compiled.exe [/ErrorStdOut] [/AutoIt3ExecuteScript file] [params ...]

Execute another script file from a compiled AutoIt3 Script File. Then you don't need to fileinstall another copy of AutoIT3.exe in your compiled file.

Look at the commandline parameters in that quoted section, your script is trying to run another script when you have compiled it but you aren't using the command line parameter to do it. When it's not compiled, the RunAsWait line you have uses the Autoit3.exe program to run it, when it's compiled the @Autoitexe macro contains the name of your compiled program.

@AutoItExe - The full path and filename of the AutoIt executable currently running. For compiled scripts it is the path of the compiled script.

That is what I was referring to, you need the command line parameter included if you're going to use your compiled script to run another script.
