AutoIt3 /c "Exit"

[lte5000]

I run this from a CMD window on WinXP SP2:

"%ProgramFiles%\autoit3\autoit3.exe" /c "Exit 1"

Then I run this:

echo %errorlevel%

This echos a 0, shouldn't it echo 1?

Or am I doing something wrong?

Put the following in a batch file:

REM someFile.bat
@echo off
"%ProgramFiles%\autoit3\autoit3.exe" /c "Exit 1"
echo Error code is %errorlevel%
pause

AutoIt appears to work fine. I think it's a feature of the command prompt that %errorlevel% gets reset when a a non-batch command finished executing.... or something like that.

*Off-topic* Cyberslug, do you know anything about the Virginia Kentucky resolution in 1789 I think? I'm doing a report on it, since you're from Kentucky you might know! PM me if you know anything.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Autoit3.exe is a GUI program, therefore the error code isn't passed back to the command interpreter unless you explicitly wait for it.

Try:

start /wait "" "%programfiles%\autoit3\autoit3.exe" /c "Exit 12345"

It should work outside of a batch file.
