Basic script error.

[Blasphemy]

Hey, Just started AutoIT. Working though help atm.

Doing 2nd example.

I have it loaded, the code is..

Run("notepad.exe")

And i get an error when trying to load.

C:\DOUME~1\af\Desktop\AUTOIT\AA\Learning\notepad.exe
X#=0D, CS=00C7 IP=00002725. The NTVDM CPU has encountered an unhandled exeption. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Yeh...Any ideas? :S

Cheers in advance.

Are you compiling your script as a file named "notepad.exe" (that's how it appears at first glance). If so, rename your compiled script - I would expect that your script, rather than grabbing Windows Notepad from its location (as defined in your system's environment variables), is instead referencing the local directory copy, thus itself, and looping until crashing.

If this is the case, renaming it should resolve the error.

My file name is named something like..."Npad.au3"

I moved shortcut of notepad into same folder as the .au3 incase that fixed it, Which it didn't.

How do i fix it to grab from its location? Instead of only searching the folder .au3 is in?

On a standard system, just using Run("notepad.exe") would be expected to work (it's located in a path defined in your Windows standard Environment Variables). If you wanted to define the full path for a program you could do so within the quotes, for this, or any other program you wanted to launch. In the case of Notepad with the full path defined, you could either use:

Run("C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe")

Searching Google for your "NTVDM CPU" error didn't yield anything (quickly) helpful, but hopefully the above entry will be of use as you continue learning/testing AutoIt.

Thanks, The method works where i type out the full location.

Guess it's a bit more work for me, But it works =]

Thanks

(Expect more easy questions from me ^^ Dedicating most of today to AutoIT.)
