Invalid directory name?

[theguy0000]

$AutoItDir = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir")
If @error Or Not FileExists ($AutoItDir&"\AutoIt3.exe") Then error("Could not locate AutoIt3.exe")
$run = Run ($AutoItDir&'\AutoIt3.exe /ErrorStdOut "'&$newscriptpath&'"', Default, Default, 2)

Func error ($str)
    ConsoleWrite ($str)
    Exit
EndFunc

Obviously there's more to the program than that, but that's the only significant part.

And, $newscriptpath is "C:\temp\AuCGI\control.auw"

I get "Unable to execute the external program. The directory name is invalid" for the Run line. What am I doing wrong?

Oh and I know it's reading from the registry because otherwise it would Exit before it runs, which obviously isn't happening. the InstallDir key is C:\Program Files\AutoIt3

latest version 3.2.8.1, SyntaxCheck not catching anything.

Protect the path with spaces by using double quotes and it may work for you.

$AutoItDir = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir")
If @error Or Not FileExists ($AutoItDir&"\AutoIt3.exe") Then error("Could not locate AutoIt3.exe")
$run = Run ('"' & $AutoItDir&'\AutoIt3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "' & $newscriptpath & '"', Default, Default, 2)

Func error ($str)
    ConsoleWrite ($str)
    Exit
EndFunc

I am not sure about those Defaults, but that is something else as to your current issue.

You may have to set the default directory to "".

Well, that got rid of the error...Had to do both. Still not working correctly, but that's a different problem, at least we have no more errors.

Thanks!
