dorochet Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Ok when I run this script I get one of two errors. In the code below, I try to activate the shortcut to the program I want to run. I get an error in line 8 saying it can't run the external program. I have also inserted the directory of the actual .EXE file. This say Error can't run Client.ini, which is the configuration file for the Gameclient. However, if I run that same directory in the windows Run box, the client opens up just fine. Any ideas? expandcollapse popup ; ; AutoIt Script ; GameClient Login ; by Dorochet ; ; Open the game client Run("C:\GameClient.exe.lnk") ;Wait for the window to be active WinWaitActive("GameCl weaponx Posted August 29, 2007 weaponx MVPs 5.3k I'm coming for blood, no code of conduct, no law. Posted August 29, 2007 A fully qualified path to an EXE must be in Run() you cannot use lnk files. sandman Posted August 29, 2007 sandman Active Members 1.3k I ❤ WordPress Posted August 29, 2007 Try using ShellExecute() if you want to use the .lnk.

If I run this path from the windows run line the client opens without issue. When I run my script, I get the error: Unable to open Client.ini. This is the configuration file for the game client. Why is there a problem when this is run with a script and not when run through windows?

You need a "Shell" or windows shell to run a windows link or .lnk file. " I haven't failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

"C:\Program Files\Galactica\GameClient\GameClient.exe" If you are passing the .exe to Run() and it is not finding other required files, then you need to set the working dir also: Run("C:\Program Files\Galactica\GameClient\GameClient.exe", "C:\Program Files\Galactica\GameClient")oÝ÷ Øò¢ìÛhºÇ)䶧Ýý²W¬²X¤z«z«¢ç[yÆ®±ëa{ +)àv*ÜjvÞuçâçbÈy©bGâæî¶Øb²ÈhºWp¢¹,É«¢+ÙM¡±±áÕÑ ÅÕ½ÐíèÀäÈíAɽɴ¥±ÌÀäÈí±Ñ¥ÀäÈíµ ±¥¹ÐÀäÈíµ ±¥¹Ð¹á¹±¹¬ÅÕ½Ðì°ÅÕ½ÐìÅÕ½Ðì°ÅÕ½ÐíèÀäÈíAɽɴ¥±ÌÀäÈí±Ñ¥ÀäÈíµ ±¥¹ÐÅÕ½Ðì¤ Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

dorochet Posted August 30, 2007 Author Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) Thank you again sir, sorry for the double post, dunno what happened maybe i had another browser window open or something. The code worked fine once I specified the working directory. Edited August 30, 2007 by dorochet
