Scripts aren't running

[JeffAllenNJ]

When running TEST.au3:

 

ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)

I get:

Why aren't my scripts actually running?

This has something to do with Google Drive (G:\My Drive\...).

I modified test.au3 to contain the line Local $sAnswer = InputBox("Question", "Where were you born?", "Planet Earth", "", -1, -1, 0, 0).

When I run it from G:\My Drive\..., I get nothing.  When I save it in C:\me\Documents\, it runs fine.  

From CMD, when I try "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe" "G:\My Drive\test.au3", I get nothing.  The command seems to succeed but I do not get the prompt.

From CMD, when I try "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe" "C:\me\Documents\test.au3", It works. I get the prompt.

So, I guess my question boils down to trying to understand why every app on my PC can see files on G:\My Drive\...

... except for AutoIT3.exe!

There is no real local copy unless you change the setting to do so (i believe I looked at this a while ago, but do not remember the details). See this old topic to check if that is similar:
