FileChangeDir cause exe file to run endless times

[h711]

I need to launch my script from target program location. So I do the following:

FileChangeDir("E:\")
Run("Install.exe")

This code works fine if you run it from .au3 file, but once you compiled it to exe and click on it, it will repeatedly launch itself endless times.

Run("E:\Install.exe")

works fine for both .au3 and .exe. So I assume

FileChangeDir("E:\")

is the part that caused the trouble.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Ok, I found a way out.

FileChangeDir("E:")
Run("\Install.exe")

This seems to work for both .au3 and .exe. I guess it is the "\" been handled differently for .au3 and .exe.

maybe theres a file in E that is called install.exe and that runs install.exe and it goes on in a loop?? OR MAYBE ITS BECAUSE FILECHANGEDIR DOES NOT MAKE THE SCRIPT LOOK FOR INSTALL.EXE IN DRIVE E:\ YOU NEED TO MAKE IT RUN("E:\INSTALL.EXE") AND THAT SHOULD WORK! Edited September 9, 2008 by LimeSeed

No, that's not it.

You compiled your script to Install.exe and that caused it to run it self endlessly
