Hmm i have a problem with an instalation program run through an autoit script sometimes it runs and sometimes it just minimises and doesnt run. When it doesnt run I can resolve it by deleting the program and the associated directory and recreating it but this seems very strange to me I am using :

Run("$COAC_RELEASE_DIR/$RELEASE_NAME/$BUILD_NAME/dist/$COAC_SERVER_EXE") in my script??

Any help appreciated something to do with runwait??

found my solution in typing the complete path where you normaly type only the application name

works fine now.

my command already has the path

i mean normally you would type: run("notepad.exe", "c:\windows\system\notepad.exe")

but i now typed: run("c:\windows\system\notepad.exe","c:\windows\system\notepad.exe")

and my problem was solved.

i hope it helps you a bit

Run ( "filename", "workingdir"..........

run("c:\windows\system\notepad.exe","c:\windows\system\notepad.exe")

And if Run("notepad") does not work for you, then you have a problem with your OS PATH.
