Can't run any programs :(

[Dronzul]

Hi, i've just started at AutoIT programming, and need some help. I cant run any programs, let me show you the code i write when i write:

;

; AutoIt Version: 2.x

; Language: English

; Platform: Win9x/NT

; Author: A.N.Other (myemail@nowhere.com)

;

; Script Function:

; Template AutoIt script.

;

Run, "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe"

But when i try to run the AutoIT file, a window pops up and says unable to run it, check if backslashes are placed correct. I am not using a US version of windows, can that be why?

Thanks in advance

First off next time if you post a question about v2 post in v2 support. Also if you just started using AutoIt use V3. It is much much much better than V2. Now about your question. Have you tried Run, "IExplore.exe" without putting the path. This should work because if you use Start>Run and type in IExplore.exe it works. Edited July 2, 2005 by SolidSnake

Where did you get this ???

Run, "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe"

help states as this

Run("Notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

so, you want this

Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe")

see help for more details

He is using v2. The syntax is different.

[FuryCell]

Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe")

He is not using V3. He is using V2.

Ok, never used V2...

But isn't this the wrong forum?

EDIT: UM... you already told him that... sorry didn't see that we all posted all at the same time

I used it a long time ago. V3 is so much better.

The difference between v2 and v3 is like even bigger than the difference between Windows 3.1 and Windows 95.
