$CmdLine error in Window Server 2012


Go to solution Solved by BrewManNH,

We were using Windows Server 2008 before and our autoit is running there just fine. The autoit script is using cmdline variable so it would know what file needs to be processed.

It is run like this in commandline: test.au3 "C:MyTestFile.doc"

But when we tried running the same script on Window Server 2012 we are getting an error "Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension exceed"

So what I did is I created a much simpler autoit script:

Msgbox(0, "", $CmdLine[1])

It causes the same error.

I changed it to:

Msgbox(0, "", $CmdLine[0])

Then run it in CommandLine test.au3 "C:MyTestFile.doc", it returns 0 instead of "C:MyTestFile.doc"

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

How exactly are you running the script? Have you tried using it compiled?

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 hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

No I haven't tried running it in compiled format because we've been changing it a lot because of the classname of the applications we are accessing changes everytime we install it on a different machine.

I have tried your suggestion and compiled it, it works like a charm, though we have to adjust some part of our workflow process to reflect exe instead of au3.

Thank you very much for the help!

I just wonder, why would it run on Server 2008 in au3 format but not on 2012?
