Workingdir parameter dont work with autoit script

[E1M1]

This don't work, When run that exe file I still see "C:\Program Files\ra" as result of msgbox(1,1,@ScriptDir)

ShellExecute(@ProgramFilesDir&"\ra\New AutoIt v3 Script (2).exe","",@WindowsDir)

I also tried

Run(@ProgramFilesDir&"\ra\New AutoIt v3 Script (2).exe",@WindowsDir)

I should see C:\windows instead of "C:\Program Files\ra shouldn't I?

The script directory is the directory the script is in.

That depends on what the script New AutoIt v3 Script (2).exe is.

yes I know

I Use @windowsdir as workingdir in my 1-st script that executes 2--nd script. second script is compiled to exe, and its source is as follows

msgbox(1,1,@ScriptDir)

So msgbox(1,1,@ScriptDir) is executed by Run(@ProgramFilesDir&"\ra\New AutoIt v3 Script (2).exe",@WindowsDir)

..

If u cant understand my situation, I can post here installer that makes same situation as I have...

I want to add that instead of using a launcher to set your working dir for the main script, you can just use this function in your main script :

FileChangeDir(@WindowsDir)

But then Whats the point of Run ( "filename" [, "workingdir" [, show_flag[, opt_flag ]]] )

workingdir parameter is useless if it doesn't work.

[Valik]

Here's a thought. Stop. Think. Your mistake is so glaringly obvious and stupid that I hope you feel embarrassed for missing something this obvious.

Scriptdir is the path to the script file. It doesn't depend on the working directory.

I despise people like you who feel the need to give out an answer to a stupidly obvious problem instead of letting somebody figure it out on his own.

ok ... then can I set replace scriptdir variable with workingdir variable?

Why do you ask instead of trying it. Valik's gonna have a mental breakdown !

You want to use @WorkingDir so use @WorkingDir. Stop being stupid; this is some obvious stuff and if you can't get this working then you need to just give up on the language.

This is exactly why I dislike that you answered the question. He needs to stop asking stupid questions and learn to try stuff and debug his own code.

oops I was really stupid, sorry for these stupid posts.
