Run(@scriptdir & "\folder2\executable.exe")

[scythetleppo]

I want to run exe that is one folder in, relative to the script.

if i do messagebox of '@scriptdir & "\folder2\executable.exe")', the path to the file is correct. but if I try to run it, I get not found.

$runfile = @scriptdir & "\bin\"
MsgBox(0, "Blah", $runfile)
run("executable.exe", $runfile)

doesnt work

$runfile = @scriptdir & "\bin\executable.exe"
MsgBox(0, "Blah", $runfile)
run($runfile)

doesnt work

$runfile = @scriptdir & "\bin\executable.exe"
MsgBox(0, "Blah", $runfile)
run("\bin\executable.exe")

doesnt work

I just tried:

$runfile = @scriptdir & "\bin\runme.exe"
MsgBox(0, "First", $runfile)
Run($runfile)

with runme.exe being a compiled exe of this command (located in the propper subfolder

MsgBox(0,"runme.exe","I ran")

worked like advertised for me.

You see, if everyone were to keep hold of their Win 9x SendTo PowerToys, this sort of thing just wouldn't happen.

Those PowerToys are still working great in XP, by the way, though I personally prefer to keep the shortcuts on the desktop. "Send to clipboard as name" is the one you want.

You drag, then paste.

Only n00bs type paths.
