GodForsakenSoul Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 i think I've broken a record in being a retard. my code so far consists of ONE line and it won't run. Run ("autoit-v3-setup.exe", "C:\Downloads\(sergei) nightshades folder\unsorted mess\", @SW_MAXIMIZE) it whines that it can't open the "external program" and "system can not find the specified file", however, it's THERE. i see it. that alone should be enough. however, for some reason, it refuses to run properly. what did i do wrong and how do i fix?
Squirrely1 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) You could try this: FileChangeDir("C:\Downloads\(sergei) nightshades folder\unsorted mess") Run ("autoit-v3-setup.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)Or this might work: Run ("autoit-v3-setup.exe", "C:\Downloads\(sergei) nightshades folder\unsorted mess", @SW_MAXIMIZE)The basic problem is narrowed-down to the trailing backslash in the folderpath, the fact that you are happy to parade a god-forsaken soul, or lastly, both.

MHz Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 also, it seems to dislike line 2. Run ("autoit-v3-setup.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)Maximize is disabled by the installer so @SW_MAXIMIZE seems unneeded? If the file being run is not in the current working directory, then you may need to specify the path to the file.
