EXE does not run on Windows 7

My exe does not want to run on one of my user's machines. I have tested it on Windows 7 64-bit, but not 32-bit (she runs 32-bit).

Can someone please help me figure this out. Attached is the script... you can download the compiled exe here: http://hosted01.rapidstudio.co.za/RSInstall/InstallEXE/InstallDownloader_10522_2011726103818.exe

If I watch task manager while trying the run the exe, the process does start, but then just quits without running the actual script.

Thanx

I would check and make sure the user has UAC turned off and permissions to create directories on the root of the c:\ drive.

Dating a girl is just like writing software. Everything's going to work just fine in the testing lab (dating), but as soon as you have contract with a customer (marriage), then your program (life) is going to be facing new situations you never expected. You'll be forced to patch the code (admit you're wrong) and then the code (wife) will just end up all bloated and unmaintainable in the end.

I've only looked at the script but why don't you use @TempDir?

The setup won't run out of the temp directory. When it does run and the setup is cancelled, all the files are deleted (if it's in the tempdir), but if it's in any other directory it stays there.. stupid, I know, but I can't do anything about that.

First thing I checked. UAC is turned off and the user is logged on as administrator.

I ran the exe on Windows 7 32 bit and it runs just fine for me, but I'm an admin on the system I ran it on which may have been a factor.

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.

You said your exe works fine on 7 64 but not 7 32,

did you compile the exe for 64bit OS maybe?

I just compiled it as I normally compile my scripts. I work on Vista 32-bit :) and it works fine on my machine and on XP machines.

I think it might just be something on this specific machine, but for the life of me I cannot figure out why.

Last night when I spoke to the lady she said that she's also struggling to install other programs on her machine now. :mellow:
