First simple step in troubleshooting would be inserting a MsgBox before the call to Run and see what the value of $tmp is.

I did that it is the correct exe path

[Swift]

You dont need to put your full path for the #Includes...Just Put #Include <String.au3>

[botanic]

ok I got it working I had to use shellexecute to make it use the correct directory

@swift I do that because I dont like to move those scripts and I use theh desktop for works in progress
