Bug - Run("")

[kjcdude]

I randomly found a bug with a very simple process of autoit.

run("\\nas01\Volume_1\Install Assist\Scripts\Change Computer Name and Restart 003.exe")oÝ÷ Ùh^¶§¶¬r¸©·¥Ó{º×­êk¢«{Ë^iØ­Â)e®éêºB©àx*&¦ë^¬Ö¦y©ÝEë-j»^Åꮢ֮¶­sg'VâgV÷C²b3#²b3#¶æ3b3#µföÇVÖUób3#´ç7FÆÂ767Bb3#µ67&G2b3#´6ævR6ö×WFW"æÖRæB&W7F'BæWRgV÷C²oÝ÷ Ù+bZîÊ®¢Ð¡jx

Even when these lines are commented it still produces the error.

I'm using autoit 3.2.11.5

Does this work?

run('"\\nas01\Volume_1\Install Assist\Scripts\Change Computer Name and Restart 003.exe"')

It is not a bug, but how Windows handles paths, including the issues with paths with spaces. You need to double quote paths with spaces to ensure success.

Run('"\\nas01\Volume_1\Install Assist\Scripts\Change Computer Name and Restart 003.exe"')

Now instead of breaking off after "Restart" at the space character and running "Change Computer Name and Restart.exe", it should run "Change Computer Name and Restart 003.exe"'
