Runwait Not Working...


Recommended Posts

I have a script that I would like to run Firefox from cd so it copies Firefox to the temp directory much like Firefox Portable. The problem is that I have it do a RunWait to open Firefox and it continues to execute, I want it to clean up the temp files when Firefox is closed thus the reason for using the RunWait. Below is my script. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe do:

Do
    Sleep(10)
Until FileExists($destination); Or Until FileExists($ffoxtemp) ... I don't know what is what.

RunWait($ffoxtemp & "\firefox.exe -profile " & $ffoxtemp & "\profile\foxoafvu.default " & $etccontent, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
?

If I'm understanding you right that may work.

Also... You may want to use code tags for you scripts.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Unfortunately that did not work. It is not a matter of the file not existing yet as it has copied prior to the actual run of the application. The problem comes that the actual script does not see that the application is still running even though it is. It should run Firefox then continue waiting until Firefox closes.
