Close a process on vista


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have a problem:

My script work's good on xp, but sometimes on vista it can't close a process (vlc.exe)

So i use the http interface of vlc to close him, on xp it's ok, on vista not

exemple:

#RequireAdmin
#include <IE.au3>
_IELoadWaitTimeout ( "6000" )
$IDprocess[0] = run ("vlc.exe dvb-t:// ... --extraintf=http --http-host=127.0.0.1:8080")
sleep (20000)
_IECreate ("http://127.0.0.1:8080/?control=stop",0,0)
sleep (500)
$oIE = _IECreate("http://127.0.0.1:8080/",0,0)
$sMyString = "vlc:quit"
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
For $oLink in $oLinks
      $sLinkText = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innerText")
      If StringInStr($sLinkText, $sMyString) Then
        _IEAction($oLink, "click")
                ExitLoop
       EndIf
Next
if $IDprocess[0]<>0 and ProcessExists ($IDprocess[0])<>0 Then ProcessClose ( $IDprocess[0] )
sleep (2000); or more
if $IDprocess[0]<>0 and ProcessExists ($IDprocess[0])<>0 Then msg (0,"info","Can't close vlc ! ")
Exit

Do you have a bug with process close on vista, and/or a bug with IE.au3 on vista? :)

(I don't have vista so i can't test)

Sorry again for my bad english

The only IE.au3 issue with Vista to date is solved with the #RequireAdmin that you are already using.

I'd be surprised if there is an issue with ProcessClose, but I have no evidence one way or ther other.

I'm afraid you'll need to do more testing and characterization of this.

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?
