Champak Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Took forever, but I finally did it. Now I have a few problems. First thing is Run wont start the program, but I'm getting a PID result. The entire folder structure and code is the same after the upgrade. If Not ProcessExists("INM DB Meter.exe") Then $rr = Run(@ScriptDir & "\Extend\INM DB Meter.exe") If @error Then MsgBox(0,0,$rr) Else MsgBox(0,1,$rr) EndIf EndIf Edited November 28, 2016 by Champak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDcoder Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) This is not related to 64-bit or 32-bit at all. Run ONLY returns the PID or 0 if there was an error.. Silly me . It is not AutoIt's fault. INM DB Meter.exe is exiting immediately after launching, it might be the switch from 32 to 64 bit. Have you tried launching the program manually? Does it work that way?

InunoTaishou Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Get rid of Windows 8 and upgrade to 10 or 7. Probably not the solution you, and others, want to see but 8 is absolute garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDcoder Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Is INM DB Meter.exe 64-bit? EasyCodeIt - A cross-platform AutoIt implementation - Fund the development!

Champak Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Neither is 64bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDcoder Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Hmm.... Did you check if the launched program is running in the background? You can use ProcessExists to do this.

Champak Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Yes, I looked in task manager, and use processwait. ProcessWait is the next issue, because I have the timeout set, and it just sits there forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDcoder Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Try this code: If Not ProcessExists("INM DB Meter.exe") Then $rr = Run(@ScriptDir & "\Extend\INM DB Meter.exe", @ScriptDir & "\Extend, @SW_SHOW") If @error Then MsgBox(0,0,$rr) Else MsgBox(0,1,$rr) EndIf EndIf Edited November 25, 2016 by TheDcoder Forgot to terminate a string EasyCodeIt - A cross-platform AutoIt implementation - Fund the development!

InunoTaishou Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Did you make the .exe? Try putting in some debugging code to see where it's stopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDcoder Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 errr... I hope you have corrected my code before testing . I forgot to insert the final quote to close the string.

Champak Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 I know where it's stopping, it's not launching the program. And it seems to be other files as well. Here's what I just found out and I dont know how to fix it. I put the program in a external hard drive and linked to it with the full path and it launched with no issue. I put it back in the original folder and put the full path and again it still wont launch. The original path is a folder on the desktop. and yes, I put the quote in at the end thanks.

j0kky Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 try to compile it, then right click on the .exe and select "run as Administrator" Spoiler Some UDFs I created: Winsock UDF STUN UDF WinApi_GetAdaptersAddresses _WinApi_GetLogicalProcessorInformation Bitwise with 64 bit integers An useful collection of zipping file UDFs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a possible permissions issue. Perhaps your external is not NTFS (or the permission is not being copied) and your original folder is. When you upgraded the permissions may have messed up on the folder. Complete and wild guess but try moving things to a different folder on your regular HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champak Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) I fixed the issue. I really don't know how I fixed it. But I started by rolling back my system. Changed how I first initiated the program by running it with admin privilege. I don't know how that helps, because subsequent runs are without admin privilege. I hate gremlins!! Thanks all.

Champak Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 UNBELIEVABLE!!! It happened again! Step by step on how it happened, maybe someone can see why. 1/ I got a copy of the au3 file of the exact exe I've been running with no issue since I did the role back. I copied it from the old drive to the new one. 2/ Installed AutoIt Scite version 3/ Compiled it because I needed to put a MsgBox in it...no other changes. 4/ Ran the new exe, same thing happened. 5/ Ran the new exe with admin, same thing happened. So previously all the exe were being launched with no issue, now all of a sudden after compiling a new version, they aren't being launched.
