OpenTrack refuses to open via autoit?

[Draygoes]

It's so weird, but I can't think of anything else that could be going on. Unless my code doesn't work for some reason of course.

To be clear, if I manually run OpenTrack.exe, it detects the process correctly. But it won't open the program in the first place, it's just causing the script to hang while it waits for a process that is never going to be there.

What's wrong with my code? 😶

Run("C:\Users\iamdr\OneDrive\Desktop\Head Tracking\OpenTrack\opentrack.exe")
Do
    Sleep( 500 )
Until ProcessExists( "opentrack.exe" ) = True
MsgBox(0,"","")

Oh, and here is the output from the compiler.

Oh, and here's the output after I manually close the script. I don't know if that will help, but I'm trying to provide as much info as I can. If you need any more information, please let me know.

Thanks for your time, everyone.

A stab in the dark here but "C:\Users\iamdr\OneDrive\Desktop\Head Tracking\OpenTrack\opentrack.exe" isn't a shortcut is it?

What are you using OpenTrack for ? couldnt you use something else like Eukalyptos FaceDetection UDF, i added live webcam tracking support for it so it's easy to check the angle of your head and use it for whatever.

It's on the German AutoIt forum, your browser can translate by rightcliking and choose "translate to english", check post #6 (and #7 where eukalyptos added all the small landmarks also)

A couple of things you could try --

• set the working directory (2nd parameter)
• Check the return values from the Run command (both @error and the returned PID)
