Cannot execute external program

[gfunk999]

Hi all,

Does anyone have a clue why the attach BIOS (Winuptp.exe) program from lenovo errors when launched from AutoIT? Everything is ok if you manually luanch the program from its own folder.

I'm running this simple code:

#include <Process.au3>

EnvSet("path", "c:\drivers\flash")
Run("winuptp.exe", "", @SW_SHOW)

And I get this error:

Nevermind I don't think you guys would be able to replicate I can't upload the program and you must have the same model to see what i'm seeing.

What OS?

Try setting the working directory to the program directory:

Run("c:\drivers\flash\winuptp.exe", "c:\drivers\flash", @SW_SHOW)

Do as Jos said plus scrap this line!

You Append to the Path environment variable, You don't replace its existing contents with a new string!

Older systems and binaries will not like that at all, your program says 08 but your screenshot says 98/2k

Plus you are running a bios flash tool, which also screams 98/2k

EnvSet("path", "c:\drivers\flash")
