MouseClick, MouseMove, Send not working on Vista64bit

[Perez]

Hi,

I have a strange problem:

I recently installed Vista 64 bit.

I wrote a script which is opens the command line and sends some characters, but it doesn't work on Vista 64 bit. It works on XP 32 bit

Here is the script:

Run ("cmd")

WinWaitActive ("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe")

Sleep (2000)

Send ("ping 192.168.1.123")

Or:

Run ("cmd")

WinWaitActive ("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe")

WinMove ("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe","",0,0)

Sleep (2000)

MouseClick ("right",270,170)

are you sure the folder name is Windows or WINDOWS ?

Yes, it is Windows. (I checked with the WindowInfo tool)

The WinWaitActive and the WinMove is working. The problem is that the Send not sends any characters (keys) to the command window.

And the MouseClick or MouseMove is not working if the command window is active.

I figured out how to make it work:

If I use this:

RunAsSet ("username",@Computername,"password")

Run ("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe")

WinWaitActive ("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe")

Sleep (2000)

Send ("ping 192.168.1.123")

Send ("{ENTER}")

It's working!

I fixed this by using the "Compile script to .exe" tool and setting compatibility mode on the generated executable to run as Administrator. Works in Windows 7 and Windows 10.

@MattM, how often do you want to resurrect an old thread topic with the same answer?
