BrewManNH Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Have you thought of renaming the file? 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.

newcome Posted July 13, 2012 Author Posted July 13, 2012 I automate it for others and can not rename the file.
BrewManNH Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Can you copy it to another filename and run the other file? Why can't you rename it, and don't repeat what you just said I got that part, what I don't understand is if you're the one doing the automation, why can't you rename it? EDIT: BTW, here's how you'd quote it so that it should work correctly. $Test = '"Intel®_Media_SDK_x64.msi"' MsgBox(262144,'Debug line ~' & @ScriptLineNumber,'Selection:' & @lf & '$Test' & @lf & @lf & 'Return:' & @lf & $Test) ;### Debug MSGBOX Also, if the ® symbol is actually that symbol, using "( R)" won't work for the file name, they're 2 different strings.
