Basic "Show Picture" script not working..

[Damein]

Alright, so I've done this many of times but for some reason my picture just will NOT show up on my GUI. Here is the script, its just to display an image.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GDIPlus.au3>

$image = "C:\Users\****\Desktop\BLMap.jpg"


$MainGui = GuiCreate("Map", 600,400)
GUICtrlCreatePic($image, 0, 0, 600, 400)
GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        
        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    WEnd

All I have is a blank, grey GUI.

I try with another JPG and it work.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
Inetget("http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj239/StarcraftImages/MCR.jpg",@Scriptdir&"\test.jpg")
$image = @Scriptdir&"\test.jpg"
$MainGui = GUICreate("Map", 600, 400)
GUICtrlCreatePic($image, 0, 0, 600, 400)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd

PD: Why the ****?

*** doesnt auto fill the path!

Try using:

@DesktopDir &"\BLMap.jpg"
