Regnbue Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hey people. I am VERY new to AutoIt. I want my script to run a browser (internet explorer, firefox or google chrome) so, I type in: RunWait("firefox.exe")or justRun("firefox.exe") But it will never launch the browser? I also tried it with the "iexplorer.exe" instead of "firefox.exe", but it won't open ? What I'm intending to do, is an AutoLogin .. Because I'm tired of entering my password xD But I first of all need to learn to make it open my browser.. Might be back in this thread for more help afterwards. Thanks in advance (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuneC Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 You might wanna take a look at the IE functions which are also documented in the help file for AutoIt. Apart from that, there are multiple topics on forum about this matter, so a quick search will probably find you some good examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
November Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 hi there, Try to give more info to commands, like working dir: Run ( "firefox.exe", "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox",@SW_MAXIMIZE);if you dont't need to wait for firefox to open. If you need firefox to open to continue anything in the script: RunWait("firefox.exe", "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox",@SW_MAXIMIZE); return code is send after firefox opens.

CheersThanks a lot for helping me, but .. Your two codes there, won't open my firefox? I copy-pasted your code. (Yes, the path is correct), but it doesn't launch firefox ? I even tried to shut down everything else, and then launch the script. Still no results :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers@November, this is not very helpfull as you make a commonly made mistake! The second parameter sets the Workinf directory and has nothing to do with were to find the program!!!!!! @OP, You need to specify the fully qualified path for programs that are not in the search path for first parameter.

As i remember i use it in the same dir that the script, so i didn't get that issue... or read the help for Run command :) The truth is that i always try to use every AutoIT capabilities and avoid 3rd party software, but learning is always welcome of course.
