_RunDOS doesn't work with msnmsgr.exe!

[Olish]

Hello everybody,

I have a prblem with _RunDOS that dosn't work like the following codes:

_RunDOS(@ProgramFilesDir & "\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe")
_RunDOS("C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe")
_RunDOS("msnmsgr.exe")

But it works with:

_RunDOS("dfrg.msc")

Where is the error?

Thank you a lot for helping me.

Im sorry i didnt think

[rambo3889]

I cant see any erros

#include <Process.au3>
_RunDOS('"' & @ProgramFilesDir & "\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" & '"')

You could also use the Run command to start it

Run(@ProgramFilesDir & "\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe")

Should I report this bug?

I consider as not a bug, as it is just your syntax usage with _RunDos. @Comspec is used in the UDF and you need to wrap the command in quotes if it has spaces which you initally did not do. This is standard stuff for using DOS. Edited February 16, 2006 by MHz
