Opening Apps


Recommended Posts

In the tutorial, opening application such as notepad was easy. It says I can use the same format to open any other application, but when I try to open IE or my other file, it doesn't want to work.

IE_Button___Open_a_File.doc

Search the help file for ShellExecute

If the app is not in the path environment ten you have to specify the full path to the file

$Path = @ProgramFilesir\MyApp\myapp.exe"
RunWait($Path)
ShellExecute($Path)
