TomDuDolan Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Hello all. Would anyone know of a code which will specify Autoit to use it's own temp dir that I specified? I am having problems with INI download. When my program lauches first time e.g. in a sandbox - it will download ALL the content from the INI, whereas if the programmed has been ran twice it will not read the new content unless I clear PC cache. Now I really don't want to clear mine or maybe other peoples cache. Is there a way around this? Thanks. -Tom.

sleepydvdr Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 If you are launching a program in a sandbox, then the problem is the sandbox. The point of sandboxes is that nothing gets out of it. Specify whatever directory you want, but the sandbox will relocate your ini file to another (sandboxed) directory, which is probably deleted after the program has terminated. This is probably why you can't access the ini file a second time. #include <ByteMe.au3> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When on the Windows operating system itself, the INI will read once, when the program has shut down and it re-downloads the new INI with added data, it will still retrive the list from the old INI somehow. I think it's a problem with the cache.Thanks for your replys!

BrewManNH Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 What cache would that be? As long as you're not creating your scripts on Vista/Win7 in the Program Files folder, which you shouldn't be doing, then there's no cache. I'm not even sure how the Program Data folder thing works, but that may be your problem and nothing to do with AutoIT. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

TomDuDolan Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Just to let you all know, this works but I had to add a few more lines for it. Thank you JohnOne. -Tom.
