Run() From dir

[Axufuris]

I was wondering if anyone knows how to run from a dir. I tried Run("Eve.exe", "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\") but its not working

Run("C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\Eve.exe")

~sigh~

Why do so many people not get this?

Run("C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\Eve.exe", "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE")

The second parameter is the working directory, not the directory to look for the executable in.

Edit: smashly posted too...

I think it's the way the help file states the first parameter

filename: The name of the executable (EXE, BAT, COM, or PIF) to run.

Maybe if it said "filename: Path ending with the filename to run"

Or something like that...
