Running a exe located on a network drive

[Mossa]

I am trying to run a executable from a network server.

It always tells me the system cannot find the file.

This is the path to the file:

\\asteroid\Tempo\dds\tempo\TEMPO.EXE

Here are my run statements i tried with:

Run("TEMPO.EXE", "\\asteroid\Tempo\dds\tempo\", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Run("TEMPO.EXE", "\\asteroid\Tempo\dds\tempo", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Run("TEMPO.exe", "\\asteroid\Tempo\dds\tempo", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

and so on, i think i tried all casesensitive versions.

I also tried this:

Run("TEMPO.EXE", "file:\\asteroid\Tempo\dds\tempo\", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Could someone please help me?

I am new to AutoIt and i am planning to use it for my exam.

Thank's in advance

Ok, i've found out a way to do it with the cmd.exe.

For all who've got the same problem, here's my code:

Run("cmd.exe /C G:\dds\tempo\TEMPO.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Thanks anyway,

best,

Try this:

Run("\\asteroid\Tempo\dds\tempo\TEMPO.EXE", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

You need to use the full path to the EXE.... admittedly this could be made a little bit more clear in the documentation, but it's in there....

It's much more nice to do it with the minimize parameter because it relates to the command-box and not the executed application. I maximize the application window later.

So this is my final code line for doing it (Mapped \\asteroid on g:\):

Run("cmd.exe /C G:\dds\tempo\TEMPO.exe", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)

Thanks and excuse my noob question.
