Run Program problem

[nollert]

I'm trying to run a program and it comes back with error, PID 0 and never executes. I can't tell what is wrong. Any suggestions as to why wthis will not work?

I copied the exection line directly out of a shortcut properties and that shortcut works just fine.

$PID = Run("C:\Program Files\TrueCrypt\Tax-Aide\Start_Tax-Aide_Drive.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

msgbox(0, "pid", $PID)

This program (Start_Tax-Aide_Drive.exe) actually executes the native program and the following works fine

$PID = Run("C:\Program Files\TrueCrypt\trueCrypt.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

I'm assuming this has something to do with shelling out to a program or something but I'm very new at this and can't seem to get anywhere.

Does the shortcut link for the Tax-Aide program work when you click on it (either from the desktop or from the start menu)? If it does, right click on the icon and go to Properties. Tell us exactly what the Target and Start In fields say (quotes & stuff after the quotes - the exact lines).

"Start in" is blank. target is exactly what I listed in the original message.

As it turns out, I tried SHELLEXECUTEWAIT and it seems to work fine now.

Thanks for your help.
