Running script vs compiled exe

MattHiggs · March 23, 2017

Ok, so this is a question that has been on my mind for a while, and only recently have I had I good example to demonstrate what I mean. I was working on updating my Cmail GUI front-end script, and I have run into an issue where, when the script is run (using "GO" in the Scite tools menu), the GUI recognizes and executes the code I have designated for the drop event (for when a file is dragged and dropped), but will not recognize the event (and therefore not execute the code) when the application is run from the compiled exe. As for my question, what is the difference between running a script directly vs running the exe compiled from it, as I have run into several instances where scripts can only be run as the script and do not work if run as the compiled exe. Thanks in advance. Below is code:

**Edit: Ok. So I figured out that it was because I was compiling it with the "require Administrator" execution level. But why would that make such a difference?

**Edit: Ok. So I figured out that it was because I was compiling it with the "require Administrator" execution level. But why would that make such a difference?

It matters when both programs run at different credential levels. So by running at AdminLevel should also work, but not when only one is runnung as Admin.

Not sure what you mean..... Are you referring to the permissions of the current user in relation to the application? The file permissions in relation to application? Still very much lost.

No, but you are storing them in cleartext in your Ini. That is what I meant.

Thank you guys so much for this post!!! I've been trying to figure out why I've been unable to pass a password to an application (thick client on Windows) and coming up blank for hours. My script runs perfectly when running from the editor but when I compile the .EXE it seemed to pass garbage to the password field. Still can't explain what's going on between the two variations of running my script but this thread reminded our admins lock down certain types of installs to the domain laptops via some crappy GPO's. Anyway I forced my script to be compiled to "requireAdministrator" and sure enough that fixed it! Such a pain but had to say thanks for the inspiration!
