InetGet - Get file and execute it doesnt work?

[PresFox]

Hello,

I am trying to download a patcher and automatically run it, however, the file downloads great (i can see it appear in the directory, with the right filesize) but it refuses to run?

Nothing happens after download, 

if anyone could help me out that would be awesome.

Local $fileDownload = InetGet("urltopatcher" , "installer.exe" , 1,0)
Do
    Sleep(250)
Until InetGetInfo($fileDownload, 2) ; Check if the download is complete.

InetClose($fileDownload)


Run ('installer.exe')

Hi PresFox,

  Your script might be having trouble finding your installer.

Maybe updating the path info would help...

Shellexecute works better IMO on EXE files

Hello,

I now made my code this: and added admin rights to see or it was the problem, but it still does not work.

After running, the file is in appdataroaming, so that works fine, but it refuses to launch the EXE.

When i manually click the exe, it runs fine..

Added the msgbox, but it never shows

#requireadmin

If ProcessExists("iexplore.exe") Then
    ProcessClose("iexplore.exe")
EndIf

Local $fileDownload = InetGet("filetodownload" , @AppDataDir & "\installer.exe" , 1,0)
Do
    Sleep(250)
Until InetGetInfo($fileDownload, 2) ; Check if the download is complete.

InetClose($fileDownload)

Local $val = ShellExecuteWait(@AppDataDir & "\installer.exe")




MsgBox(0, "Program returned with exit code:", $val)


Global $hCtrl = 0, $Waiting = True

Ok, appearantly the error was in the DO loop, it never went on.

I removed the do loop and now it works fine. Do i really need it?

Your problem is the last parameter of InetGet. If its 0 then u dont need the loop.
