cdub Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I was trying to run a script that runs another autoit script in the middle of it and learned that I need to use ShellExecuteWait(".\AutoIt.au3",".\childscript.au3") instead of RunWait with the same parameters. I tried searching the forum for the difference between ShellExecute and Run and found this thread: However, it doesn't explain why RunWait doesn't work for running child scripts and the help file doesn't really explain the differences either. So what's the difference? Thanks.
