Mr.Wizard Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Your installdrive variable is inside the string, it should be something like Run($varwin & "\Notepad.exe " & $installdrive & "\Program Files\Webroot\Spy Sweeper\readme.txt ","", @SW_MAXIMIZE) I have a catapult. Give me all the money or I will fling an enormous rock at your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scriptkitty Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 (edited) remember, strings are in quotes, variables and @macros are not, concatinate with &Good:$variable"Quote""c:\mydrive"@Mday@crlf$variable & "Quote" & "c:\mydrive" & @Mday & @crlfNot so good"$variable & Quote" & "@Mday c:\mydrive"c:\mydrive & "$variable @Mday"ExpandEnvStrings and ExpandVarStrings options change the rules a bit, but get in the habit of doing it the normal way.
