RunWait(@HomeDrive & "/c " & "messagebox "window title" "message")

messagebox.exe is in the same directory as built script.

All i get is error line -1 and messagebox will not give me anything.

Hey stoopid,(there I said it)

I don't know what you are trying to achieve with your above code....

why not use::

RunWait(@SCRIPTDIR &'messagebox.exe "TITLE" "UR MSG"',@SCRIPTDIR)

or using your method but the correct way::

RunWait(@COMSPEC &' /c messagebox.exe "TITLE" "UR MSG"',@SCRIPTDIR)

you seem to be getting confused with macro's and environment variables somewhere....

If so, any chance that CMD will die out in future versions of windows ? LOL that would suck.

not unless goons or Vistafarians take over OS development, instead of programmers

I am curious what code editor are you using if you are not using scite? Notepad++ maybe?

Don't forget using @ScriptDir or others, if your path contains spaces in it, you'll want to make sure it's surrounded in quotes on the send.

eg.

Run('"' & @ScriptDir & '\mydir\myexe.exe" "Title" "Your Msg"', @ScriptDir)

My bad,

my offering was full of silly errors that I corrected the OP on just a couple of posts ago.

and yeah, either always enclose any filepath string in literal quotes. (just in case)

Or write a little routine to do it for you.

RunWait(@COMSPEC &' /c messagebox.exe "TITLE" "UR MSG"',@SCRIPTDIR)
