Developers Jos Posted November 14, 2004 Developers Share Posted November 14, 2004 (edited) will this work for running the .exe after it has fully downloaded ?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Depends how you do the download. It will only work when the file is created at the end of the download. You might want to test for the filesize as well to ensure the file is available and not being copied.Runwait will fail because you need to specify the target program including its full path.

t0ddie Posted November 14, 2004 Author Share Posted November 14, 2004 (edited) well, it downloads to the desktop, and i thought i specified the full path. and it seems that the file appears after the download is completed. i have seen other files appear first, but they arent .exe until they are finished Edited November 14, 2004 by t0ddie Valik Note Added 19 October 2006 - 08:38 AMAdded to warn level I just plain don't like you.

Somerset Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 it would be better for you in the long run to download it like to temp directory. then move it to the directory that you wish for it to run from. reason being if you download it to temp directory, and then try to use filemove. if it errors out then you can tell it to still wait. reason why i even say this because you never know the following. what is the exact size of the file. example you never know if it was updated since the last time. two the file being downloded you don't know if it is gonna be a generated name or the same name as you downloaded then later changed. you have alot of options.
