Tried ShellExecute() ?

Yup same thing happens

unless im not using it right

ShellExecute("C:\Program Files\Doom 3\doom3.exe")

i just treated it like the run function

[Generator]

Doom3GUIEXE.exe contains this line only

CODE: AutoIt

run("C:\Program Files\Doom 3\Doom3GUIEXE.exe")

Why is it running itself?

Why is it running itself?

sorry, having too much fun copying and pasting

it actually says this

run("C:\Program Files\Doom 3\Doom3.exe")

Did you try adding a working directory parameter to your Run()

run("Doom3.exe", "C:\Program Files\Doom 3\")

Did you try adding a working directory parameter to your Run()

run("Doom3.exe", "C:\Program Files\Doom 3\")

just tried it now i got this error

"run("Doom3.exe", "C:\Program Files\Doom 3\")

The system cannot find the file specified."

it definitly exists there

[petfish]

I figured it out

ShellExecute("Doom3.exe", "", "c:\program files\doom 3\")

i tried this earlier but i missed the middle bit -- ,"", so it took my working directory as a parameter...der!!

Sorry to wast your time but thanks all for your help

Maybe...

If $game = ("Doom3") Then
    SoundPlay("REMINDER.WAV")
    If FileExists("C:\Program Files\Doom 3\doom3GUIEXE.exe") Then
        Run(FileGetShortName("C:\Program Files\Doom 3\doom3GUIEXE.exe"), @WorkingDir)
    EndIf
EndIf
