How to run another exe from within autoit exe


Recommended Posts

Let's say I want to write a script to install PDFCreator.exe and do some other things like automatically run through

the install wizard. Is this the only way to do this:

...

...

...

FileInstall("C:\Program Files\Downloaded Programs\PDFCreator.exe","C:\PDFCreator.exe")

Run("C:\PDFCreator.exe")

..

Rest of Script Here

..

I wasn't sure if you had to copy the PDFCreator.exe to the client's hard drive first before running it??

Thanks,

Now why ADS that be better than FileInstall()?? Using ADS would just be a pain in the ass, almost none way to actually copy the file and you must have NTFS. Two shortcomings that FileInstall() doesn't have.

That's because you haven't read the post in its original form. He was asking (at the begining) how to run something without need to download(copy) the exe to that computer.

By the time I have posted my reply he has edited his post. :P

SNMP_UDF ... for SNMPv1 and v2c so far, GetBulk and a new example script

How would you run a file from ADS without actually having the file on your computer? You just made me more confused.

From his post I assumed that: (example)

- the executable "test.exe" was on that computer already

- "test.exe" had to run "second.exe" without downloading (installing) "second.exe" on that computer

Given these I guess my solution was correct. :P

Anyway - my bad - if I had explained this in detail we wouldn't have had any disagreement :unsure:
