Filecopy with relative path problem

[Lolita]

Hello i have another problem with autoit that i can't solve myself

When i start my script from folder where it is it copies file ok, but when i call it directly - ie. i call d:\$OEM$\ie7\force_ie7_reg.exe from runonceex it don't copy files and filecopy function returns filed.

How can i solve it? Do i need to use @ScriptDir? And why it work this way?

Thanks for your reply

Alse i don't know why, but winwait and winwait activate don't work correctly for me in runonceex (but it worked ok before so i think i have problem with my scripts or something autoit beta related), nevermind.

What are the FileCopy statements you use in your script ?

Wild guess: One thing that probably will solve your issue is add a FileChangeDir(@scriptdir) at the top of your script.

Now it is

$sysdrive = EnvGet("SystemDrive")
MsgBox(0, "debug", "scriptdir: " & @ScriptDir)
MsgBox(0, "debug", "sysdrive: " & $sysdrive)
if FileCopy(@ScriptDir & "/../regtweaks/IE7.reg", $sysdrive & "\", 9) == 1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "debug", "copy result: " & "ie7 copy ok")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "debug", "copy result: " & "ie7 copy failed")
EndIf

Before i used

FileCopy("/../regtweaks/IE7.reg", $sysdrive & "\", 9)

... this probably use "work directory" as it's base path ...

Hi!

What does MsgBox(0, "debug", "scriptdir: " & @ScriptDir) give you? Is "/../regtweaks/IE7.reg" in this folder? You Know that @ScriptDir is the folder where the au3/.exe is?
