ShellExecute("Aut2exe.exe",'/in "/BIN/prog.au3" /out "../THISISnewprogram.exe" /comp 2 /pack /icon "/BIN/icon.ico" /Bin "/BIN/AutoItSC.BIN" ',@ScriptDir)

Ok whats wrong with this code? The actual code compiles in windows xp but not in windows vista. Thanks autoit Gurus

Maybe make it an actual path?

"' & @scriptdir & '/BIN/prog.au3" etc

Cheers,

The error that Im getting is cannot find aut2exe.

[BrettF]

Well what does that tell you?

Try this, and tell me why it should work.

ShellExecute(@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\Aut2Exe\Aut2exe.exe", '/in "/BIN/prog.au3" /out "../THISISnewprogram.exe" /comp 2 /pack /icon "/BIN/icon.ico" /Bin "/BIN/AutoItSC.BIN" ', @ScriptDir)

If you are using x64 it might not work...

[Tsongkie]

why wouldn't it work in x64?

[BrettF]

Because I'm not 100% positive whether @ProgramFilesDir returns for example:

C:\Program Files

or

C:\Program Files (x86)

And since I can't be bothered testing, it might not work...

Cheers,

Brett

ok iv got the same problem but mine has a proper direct path.

ShellExecute("C:\Program Files\JDAST\readme.txt")

dont work in Vista x64, error is cant find "C:\Program Files\JDAST\readme.txt" the file is there and exactly spelt right (case as well) but it fine in xp .

any help for this one

thx.

[BrettF]

Try @ProgramfilesDir & "\JDAST......."

[JackDinn]

na that was what i started with but it dident work so that's why i tried a full path.

[JackDinn]

so iv just did this instead.

$line = ""
    $file = FileOpen("C:\Program Files\JDAST\readme.txt", 0)
    $hgui = GUICreate("Help & About", 600, 600, 0, 0, $WS_SIZEBOX, -1, $form1)
    $hlist = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 0, 0, 600, 600,$WS_VSCROLL)
    GUICtrlSetFont($hlist,12)
    GUISetState()
    While 1
        $linex = FileReadLine($file) & @CRLF
        $line = $line & $linex
        If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    WEnd
    GUICtrlSetData($hlist, $line)

but still leaves the question how you would run a .txt .lnk etc. on a x64 Vista pc.

[ProgAndy]

you could try to use AutoIt in 64bit-mode or look at these funcs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384187(VS.85).aspx to disable file system redirection.

[JackDinn]

well my solution 2 post's abouve didnt work on x64 either , ahhh i duno, i never designed my prog to work on vista anyway and its only the help file so i'll prob try to check for vista and disable the help option.

thx for the link but that is all above my head

Compile for System x64

[JackDinn]
