Run a Shorcut lnk with ini

[Jobo]

Hi I am new at this,

I have a program which I need to run first before launching two subsequent ones.

The problem is that the program uses an ini file to launch a specific version.(server or client)

Information for the shortcut lnk as follows:

Shortcut target Path: "C:\Program Files\AGFA\d-workflow\GPLauncher.exe"

Working Directory: "C:\Program Files\AGFA\d-workflow\server"

Arguments: launch_server.ini

Link Path info:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Agfa\d-workflow\Server.Lnk

I have tried the following but the program gives an error:

Run('"C:\Program Files\AGFA\d-workflow\GPLauncher.exe" launch_server.ini')

ERROR message given by app. "Cannot open launch_server.ini"

I help on to either run the shortcut link or a run command that will get the exe to apply the ini file?

Are you trying to actually open the INI and view it?

Because you do not need to run it to read whats in it

Look at

'IniRead'

In the helpfile

No I do not need to view the INI, the exe requires the setting in the ini to run.

That would be easy but it does not work as with a standard shortcut to an exe.

This is the ini file contents called:

[ENVIRONMENT]

PATH=../dlls;%PATH%

JARS=../jars

CLASSPATH=.;../config;%JARS%/log4j.jar;%JARS%/jdom.jar;%JARS%/xerces.jar;%JARS%/pdmserver.jar

[COMMAND]

COMMAND=..\jre\bin\javaw.exe

OPTION=-Xmx128m

OPTION=-Djava.security.policy=resource/server.policy

OPTION=-DServerURL=localhost:2091

OPTION=-DClientCheckerPort=9998

OPTION=-DThreadSleepTime=2000

OPTION=-DCheckSpacePeriod=60000

OPTION=com.agfa.imaging.pdm.server.PDMServer

CAPTION=d-workflow

Try something like this

Run('"C:\Program Files\AGFA\d-workflow\GPLauncher.exe" launch_server.ini',"C:\Program Files\AGFA\d-workflow\server")

Try something like this

Run('"C:\Program Files\AGFA\d-workflow\GPLauncher.exe" launch_server.ini',"C:\Program Files\AGFA\d-workflow\server")

Thanks for the Help - It is working fine now
