I need a different set of eyes on this, as I have ran through everything I can think of and cannot figure this thing out...

I've checked all my variables and they are correct.... I haven't changed the way the code works, only updated the variable values in the ini file. This was working a week ago and now it's not. I was thinkin it could be server related so i tried on many different pc's.... On a number of them XP/Win7 it works.... on another group of them it does not

Not a whole lot of information to go on from you. You say it doesn't work for some computers, what doesn't work and where does it stop working? Have you done any error checking, checking the values/contents of variables as the script progresses, checked what's different on the computers that this doesn't work on from the ones that it does work on, checked if the users having issues have different permissions than others?

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.

I've ran it from my system and it works logged on as me

running on a system that's failing logged on as me it still fails.

So from there I considered it not to be a permission error.

 

What happens is the program runs and checks if the value in the version on the system is equal to the value of the version on the server. If it's different it runs the "update tool" directly from the server.

In both cases fail or succeed, the "update tool" runs and successfully identifies file versions, it closes the previous program and begins copying the file, it says the copying fucntion is completed but when it attempts to run the program windows throws up an error that it cannot find the specified file the "update tool" is trying to run. I go check and indeed it did not copy the file over.

 

It's mind boggling because it works on some systems and not on others but I'm using my user credentials on all of them. also, the systems are XP/Win7 some work some do not

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

I'm pretty sure the error lies here:

Func _CopyFolder($sSourceFolder, $sDestFolder)
    Local $au3=_GetAppropriatePath("C:\Program*\AutoIt3*\autoit3.exe*", 0)
    DirRemove($sDestFolder, 1)
    Local $iSourceSize = DirGetSize($sSourceFolder), $iDestSize
    Local $pid = Run($au3 & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "DirCopy(''' & $sSourceFolder & ''', ''' & $sDestFolder & ''')"')
    ProgressOn("Updating Software", "Please wait" & Chr(44) & " the latest version of your software is being retrieved" & Chr(46))
    Do
        $iDestSize = DirGetSize($sDestFolder)
        Local $ipct = Int(($iDestSize / $iSourceSize) * 100)
        ProgressSet($ipct, $ipct & '%')
        Sleep(2000)
    Until Not ProcessExists($pid)
    ProgressSet(100, "Done", "Complete")
    Sleep(1000)
    ProgressOff()
    If Not FileExists(@DesktopDir & "\SET Shortcut") Then FileCreateShortcut($SYSTEMDRIVE & "\SET\SET.exe", @DesktopDir & "\SET Shortcut")

OnEvent function _update() calls _CopyFolder and then checks @error. I see no SetError() used in _CopyFolder(). Many issues exist with error checking like $au3 used in _CopyFolder is not checked if contains a value from _GetAppropiatePath() and SetError() is not used in the latter function to check for error. I could go on but to sum it up, your error checking is hit and miss. My advice is to add the missing error checking code in so the script will alert on issues.
 
As for _CopyFolder(), I see you are already using @AutoItExe in your script so I see no reason not to use it in that UDF. So the change would be this.

Func _CopyFolder($sSourceFolder, $sDestFolder)
    ;Local $au3=_GetAppropriatePath("C:\Program*\AutoIt3*\autoit3.exe*", 0)
    DirRemove($sDestFolder, 1)
    Local $iSourceSize = DirGetSize($sSourceFolder), $iDestSize
    Local $pid = Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "DirCopy(''' & $sSourceFolder & ''', ''' & $sDestFolder & ''')"')
    ProgressOn("Updating Software", "Please wait" & Chr(44) & " the latest version of your software is being retrieved" & Chr(46))
    Do
        $iDestSize = DirGetSize($sDestFolder)
        Local $ipct = Int(($iDestSize / $iSourceSize) * 100)
        ProgressSet($ipct, $ipct & '%')
        Sleep(2000)
    Until Not ProcessExists($pid)
    ProgressSet(100, "Done", "Complete")
    Sleep(1000)
    ProgressOff()
    If Not FileExists(@DesktopDir & "\SET Shortcut") Then FileCreateShortcut($SYSTEMDRIVE & "\SET\SET.exe", @DesktopDir & "\SET Shortcut")
EndFunc   ;==>_CopyFolder

That may help to eliminate 1 possible issue. _GetAppropriatePath() has been commented as unneeded. Next you have DirRemove() with flag 1. If that fails then your Run() function is not going to do well as the DirCopy() has no overwrite flag used so that could become a mix up of files let alone a file in use in that folder causing issues. The rest of the code in that UDF is reasonable so I will not touch on it. :)

I would go with that except one tiny detail, which i'm at fault for not providing the info forand i apologize.

This line:

Local $pid = Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "DirCopy(''' & $sSourceFolder & ''', ''' & $sDestFolder & ''')"')

Will error out every time because the Macro @AutoItExe will look at the incorrect drive. The user is on a domain and the users corresponding drive on the domain is P: so the Macro actually looks on said P: drive for the AutoIt exe file instead of that machines physical harddrive (C:)... which is why i was using the

Local $au3=_GetAppropriatePath("C:\Program*\AutoIt3*\autoit3.exe*", 0)

 to call the local install of AutoIt

I believe I may need to rewrite how the _CopyFolder() function works.... <_<

quick question, common sense is hinting me at the answer, but this:

Local $pid = Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "DirCopy(''' & $sSourceFolder & ''', ''' & $sDestFolder & ''')"')

wouldn't work if AutoIt is not installed on the machine running this command??? would it?

If the script is compiled, it will use the script as the full path and file name, if not compiled it will use the full path of wherever the AutoIt3.exe (or_x64.exe) is located on their system.
 

@AutoItExe The full path and filename of the AutoIt executable currently running. For compiled scripts it is the path of the compiled script.

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.

On the latest AutoIt version, you may need to use a pragma compile directive to use a compiled script as an interpreter while 3.3.8.1 and earlier could execute a script by default.

Example, this code will restart the script whether as au3 or compiled as exe. Run it without parameters.

#pragma compile(AutoItExecuteAllowed, True)

If Not $CMDLINE[0] Then
    Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & @ScriptFullPath & '" /restart')
ElseIf $CMDLINE[1] = '/restart' Then
    MsgBox(0, @ScriptName, 'Restarted'); expect to see this
Else
    MsgBox(0x30, @ScriptName, 'Test failed')
EndIf

So that means that you could even change the _Reset function to be like this

Func _Reset();Exits, then runs the script again, thus resetting it
    FadeGUI_out()
    Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & @ScriptFullPath & '"')
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Reset

Again note that latest version requires the pragma compile directive to work for the compiled script. Sorry, should have mentioned the pragma compile directive prior as I did not consider it as it is a rather new addition to use that was not needed before.
