kumvinod Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Hello , The script below when executed opens indefinite copies of calc.exe and the it becomes very difficult to kill the script . The same happens with Run("notepad.exe") . Please suggest how to run a single only executable of Calc.exe. I am using O/S : Win XP Sp3 Run("Calc.exe") winwaitactive("Calculator") Sleep(1000) Winclose("Calculator") Thanks, Vinod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewManNH Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 markyrocks, how is that any different from the original script, other than the unnecessary function? To the OP, are you by any chance naming your script Calc.exe? 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.

markyrocks Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Well I added an exit after it runs for starters. ....figured that would be kinda obvious Spoiler "I Believe array math to be potentially fatal, I may be dying from array math poisoning" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumvinod Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Calc () Func Calc () Run("Calc.exe") winwaitactive("Calculator") Sleep(1000) Winclose("Calculator") Exit Endfunc It didn't work ! Still the same result ! Is there any problem with my system ( O/S : Win XP ) Did you try running this script ?

The problem is what BrewManNH Mentioned, Do not compile the script itself to calc.exe Edited December 14, 2013 by Hawkysoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution gruntydatsun Posted December 14, 2013 Solution Share Posted December 14, 2013 you can call the script calc.exe if you want, just specify the full path to the windows calc program: run("C:\Windows\system32\calc.exe") I'm guessing the program is looking to the script directory first for an run command with no path specified, then to the paths in the Path environment variable if it can't find it there.
