digitalexpl0it Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Hello, I have a script that puts itself into the SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun registry. When I reboot the computer then log in the application will not launch. Setting the reg keys script func SetProgramAutoRun($PathToFile, $autorunName="LGComputerMigration") ; Write a single REG_SZ value ; Put script into the registry to launch on login If @ProcessorArch = "X86" Then RegWrite("HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", '"' & $autorunName & '"', "REG_SZ", $PathToFile) Call("WriteToLog", "[SUCCESS] Setup autorun in the registry for " & $PathToFile) endif If @ProcessorArch = "X64" Then RegWrite("HKLM64\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", '"' & $autorunName & '"', "REG_SZ", $PathToFile) Call("WriteToLog", "[SUCCESS] Setup autorun in the registry for " & $PathToFile) endif endfunc func DelProgramAutoRun($PathToFile, $autorunName="LGComputerMigration") If @ProcessorArch = "X86" Then RegDelete("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", '"' & $autorunName & '"') Call("WriteToLog", "[SUCCESS] Deleted autorun in the registry for " & $PathToFile) endif If @ProcessorArch = "X64" Then RegDelete("HKLM64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", '"' & $autorunName & '"') Call("WriteToLog", "[SUCCESS] Deleted autorun in the registry for " & $PathToFile) endif endfunc The script is set with SetProgramAutoRun("c:migrationscript.exe") I do see the entry in the registry and it looks fine. I even tried creating a launcher script to launch the main script on boot-up but I get the same issue. #RequireAdmin Local Const $Path = "c:\migration" Local Const $ssFilePath = $Path & "\settings.ini" Local $iiFileExists = FileExists($ssFilePath) If not $iiFileExists Then msgbox(0,"Ahh Snap!", $ssFilePath & " file was not found") exit endif ; Read the INI sections. This will return a 2 dimensional array. Local $aOptions = IniReadSection($ssFilePath, "Options") If Not @error Then Local $PathToFile = $aOptions[5][1] else msgbox(0,"Error","Unable to read INI file, please check file. " & @error) endif ; Run the main script RunWait($PathToFile) exit Not sure why it wont launch Edited December 9, 2014 by digitalexpl0it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xandy Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) I've never used the registry to start a script at windows startup. I always put a link to my app in the Startup folder. Here it is on Windows 8: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2806079 A rq example: filecreateshortcut(@scriptdir&"\Runner.exe", @StartupDir&"\Runner.exe.lnk", @scriptdir, "", "To automate and run processes via hotkeys", @scriptdir&"\system\graphics\runner icn3.ico") Edited December 9, 2014 by Xandy Human Male Programmer (-_-) Xandy About (^o^) Discord - Xandy Programmer MapIt (Tile world editor, Image Tile Extractor, and Game Maker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 If you know which key you want to have the script run, why don't you just read that key instead of reading the whole section? Ini files by design don't save the keys in any set sequence, so reading just a single key would be a whole lot easier with IniRead rather than IniReadSection. 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.

digitalexpl0it Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 so I tried the windows startup folder and I get the same issue, if I remove #RequireAdmin from the launcher script it will run but can execute the man script. I just tried a cmd file to launch the main script from the startup folder and thats working. I will try the registry after this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
