Script not working if run from shortcut

[imitto]

Hello all!

I was in read-only until today, started to use Autoit 3 weeks ago. It can really make things easy, I really love it

I have some script now that works and make our job effective, but I have problems with the latest. It works if I open the script's folder and run the exe directly. If I use the shortcut that I created on the desktop, it's not working properly. Activates the window, but not opening/exporting my files, just opens the last msgbox. I use ftp becouse the PC and the destination PC is not on the same network.

Here's the script:

Can you post the properties of your shortcut?

I think I got it. We have to try it with "Run as admin" checked. I think it's not running in admin mode, so after I disable input devices, autoit can't send the keystrokes. I check it tomorrow morning

Not working from the shortcut (I set it to run as administrator). It stops in the middle of the first send command, after sending the ALT key, before send "fo" keys. If I run the exe, it works. Any idea?

I do not see why it wont work, have you tried to turn off blockinput maybe that is the issue, that or its waiting for a window and holding up the script.

 

You can enable the debug modes and see what line the script is actually pausing on.
