Run Command not working correctly

[Arm_And_Hammer]

I need to open a program for part of my script; the name of the program is "Cisco IP Communicator". The two ways I know to open the program right now are to either to click on the desktop shortcut ("Cisco IP Commincator.lnk") or by viewing the shortcut's target file location, and running the .exe file ("communicatork9.exe").

The code I'm using is as follows: 
 

#RequireAdmin

$ciscoApp = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\Cisco IP Communicator\communicatork9.exe"
Run($ciscoApp)


Whenever I run this script, I am prompted for administrator access and then nothing happens. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this issue, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

With #RequireAdmin you tell Windows to run the AutoIt script as administrator. Hence Windows asks for administrator access. WAD

Like water said it is normal that you are ask to admin access.  But what is not normal is that the .exe is not running after.  Make sure that you got the path and exe name right,

You may need to have the working directory in cisco dir ?

I know this. But after it prompts me for admin access, it should be running the .exe file and it isn't. Do you know why this is?

I know I have the path and name right, I double-checked that.

What do you mean by the working directory in cisco directory? I haven't tried anything involving directories.

$ciscoApp = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\Cisco IP Communicator\communicatork9.exe"
Run($ciscoApp, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\Cisco IP Communicator")

something like that (look run i;n help file autoit)

Adding the location again after the variable made this work. Thanks for your help!
