Msmith Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 hi all i have a script in the all users startup folder that calls an external program. About 30% of the time I get the following error. error: unable to execute the external program. An instance of the service is already running. I checked taskmanger just to see and there is no other instance running. thanks mike My Script $var1 = "bginfo.exe " & '"C:\Program Files\BgInfo\inventory.bgi" ' & "/timer:0 /silent /nolicprompt" RunAsSet('user1', 'server1', 'passwdrd1', 2) Run($var1, "C:\Program Files\BgInfo", @SW_MINIMIZE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedna Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 To be sure try absolute path to EXE: $var1 = '"C:\Program Files\BgInfo\bginfo.exe" ' & '"C:\Program Files\BgInfo\inventory.bgi" ' & "/timer:0 /silent /nolicprompt" RunAsSet('user1', 'server1', 'passwdrd1', 2) Run($var1, "C:\Program Files\BgInfo", @SW_MINIMIZE) Resources UDF ResourcesEx UDF AutoIt Forum Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryFrost Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Don't need all the &'s in there in the string $var1 = '"C:\Program Files\BgInfo\bginfo.exe" "C:\Program Files\BgInfo\inventory.bgi" /timer:0 /silent /nolicprompt' SciTE for AutoItDirections for Submitting Standard UDFs Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
