Using autoit service to create files

[NeilApp]

Hi guys,

I've made a program that runs as a service, it works fine normally but when i start it as a service it manages to edit files but it doesnt create the two .inis (temp.ini and dates.ini)

expandcollapse popup

$replace = "INSTALL_FAILED"
$with = "INSTALL_PENDING"
$path = "C:\ini\"
$replaced = 0
$rpackagesb = 0
$firstfile = FileFindFirstFile($path & "*.ini")

if $firstfile = -1 Then
    Exit
EndIf

while 1
    $file = FileFindNextFile($firstfile)
    if @error then
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    $packages = IniReadSectionNames($path & $file)
    for $i1 = 1 to $packages[0]
        $packaged = iniReadSection($path & $file,$packages[$i1])
        if @error Then
        ExitLoop
        EndIf
            for $i2 = 1 to $packaged[0][0]
                
                if $packaged[$i2][1]= $replace Then
                    $dates = IniRead("dates.ini","packagesreplaced",$packaged[$i2][0],"Default")
                    if $dates - @yday > 14 Then
                        IniWrite("Broken packages.ini","package",$packaged[$i2][0],$dates)
                    Else
                        IniWrite($path & $file,$packages[$i1],$packaged[$i2][0],$with)
                        IniWrite("dates.ini","packagesreplaced",$packaged[$i2][0],@YDAY)
                        IniWrite("temp.ini","packagesreplaced",$packaged[$i2][0],@YDAY)
                    EndIf
                EndIf
            Next
    Next
WEnd

FileClose($firstfile)

Any ideas guys?

AutoIt exe's can't be run as a service.

Lots of posts about this.

Search the forum.

Edit: I read a bit to quick. You're saying you CAN run it as a service? Or is that with a third party program?

And you sure $path isn't needed b4 "dates.ini" & "temp.ini" when you IniWrite them?

There is a lot of threads saying how to run autoit scripts as a service, there is even an entry in the FAQ for how to do it.

My exe does work but it just cant create the files for some reason, thats what im asking about.
