StdOutRead returns number?

[botanic]

For some reason I only get a number from that function (increasing with each run command)

I believe the problem is most likely here

if $msg = $okbutton Then

$return = Run('"c:\BLPaletter" "' & $file &'"' , "", @SW_HIDE,$STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

StdOutRead($return)

MsgBox(0, $return, '"C:\BLPaletter.exe" "' & $file &'"')

EndIf

however here is thw whole script so far...

FileInstall("C:\winchm\tga.jpg", "C:\tga.jpg")

FileInstall("C:\winchm\sample.chm", "C:\BLPaletterHELP.chm")
