Using the Run Command to start a program

[Lopno]

I am trying to make a script that involves starting Spotify.

I am using the Run functions, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I have read the manual and searched for related topics but without luck.

Here is the line of code that isn't doing what I want it to:

Run(@AppDataDir & "\Roaming\Spotify\spotify.exe")

Thank you for your help.

1) What does this display on your PC?

msgbox(64, '', @AppDataDir)

2) Does the directory really have the file you want to run?

I've had a similar issue like this before now for some not known to me reason.

$sExe = @AppDataDir & "RoamingSpotifyspotify.exe"

Run($sExe)

On my box the @AppDataDir already includes the "Roaming" directory. Try changing your code to:

Run(@AppDataDir & "\Spotify\spotify.exe")

Works for me.

This was the problem.

Thank you all for your responses.
