In case you didn't understand what Valuater just said, he basically said we can't help you because you didn't give us anything to help you with. What you did was analagous to asking for help building a house, but failing to mention the location of where the house is to be built, what materials to use, where to find them, etc. By telling us you wanted it to run another program, you basically said that you want the house to be blue. Of course, this doesn't help us, because we are totally left out in the dark and since you didn't supply us with what you have, we can't help.

This is to everyone on the forum:

We only help you as much as you give us to help you with.

Pretty much you can just do an "& Run (Details here)"

so far this is the script with the dialog box text hidden

#NoTrayIcon

Dim $Message1

Dim $Message2

Dim $Message3

Dim $Title

$Title = "(text here)"

$Message1 = "(text here)"

$Message2 = "(text here)"

$Message3 = ""(text here)"

MsgBox(266304,$Title,$Message1 & @CRLF & $Message2 & @CRLF & $Message3)

what should i add to it to make it run a program too?

[alex OF DEATH]

$Message3 = ""(text here)"
[b]First way:[/b] Run (etc...)
MsgBox(266304,$Title,$Message1 & @CRLF & $Message2 & @CRLF & $Message3) [b]Second way:[/b] & Run (etc...)

what should i add to it to make it run a program too?

Do you want the text and the program to run at same time? I see two ways to do it, which I edited from the quote. Its on the line it should be on, just delete the bolded part.

As alex said you have to add a sth like this anywhere in your script:

Run("C:\senselesfolder\senseless.exe")

We don't know. We can't see what you did.

Did you add the Parenthesese that were required? As in Run ( file path here )

And the quotes on the files path. Can't forget that.

Use the autoit helpfile. It's easy to use, and will tell you everything you need to know.

hmm i added the ( and ) as you said but it came up with an error saying

Run (C:\THE FILE NAME.exe

Run (C^ ERROR

Quotes.

I made this as easy as possible for you, and yo ustill messed it up.

[therks]

Okay, I have to ask, wtf is up with this line?

MsgBox(266304,$Title,$Message1 & @CRLF & $Message2 & @CRLF & $Message3) $ Run ("COMPLETE FILE PATH HERE")

That's not valid code at all.

[jaenster]

You need to do with quotes, other the compiler guess you use a variable.

And each command, each got a own line
