Vinodphp Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi All,I have installed AutoIT latest version while learning through the project documentation, I wanted to run the "winzip90.exe" file by using the command Run("winzip90.exe") I can see that some times it works but most of the times it fails to run the installer.I have tried several things placing the installer in different folder providing it the path but still nothing works can anyone provide me the solution for this problem.Thanks & Regards,Vinod Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 You have to specify the full path to the exe. Let's assume the exe is in the same directory as your script:Run(@ScriptDir & "\winzip90.exe") My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs:Active Directory (NEW 2022-02-19 - Version 1.6.1.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example ScriptsOutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - DownloadOutlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiPowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiTask Scheduler (NEW 2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs:Excel - Example Scripts - WikiWord - Wiki Tutorials:ADO - WikiWebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrainiac Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 As water pointed out, if you want to make sure the executable file is found, you have to use the full file path.OS internal programs and ones in the same directory as yours can be found using only the file name, because the OS has specific shortcuts in place to make finding them easier, and because of relative file paths, which are a feature to let you easily navigate the directory of your program without knowing its absolute location in the directory tree.
