Photoshop CS4 Script.. what is wrong?

[Vegar]

Hello..

i'm making a script witch makes the date adjust itself to a specified date, then start Photoshop, and when i close photoshop the date adjust itself back to its original state....

(i'm doing this so i can use Photoshop CS4 on the Trial verson for ever... its realy only 30 days i could use it, but if i adjust the date to the 27.06.2009 i will always have 30 days to go )

here is what i got:

#include <Date.au3>

Local $tCur, $tNew


    $tNew = _Date_Time_EncodeFileTime (6,27,2009, @HOUR, @MIN, @SEC)
    _Date_Time_SetLocalTime(DllStructGetPtr($tNew))



sleep (1000)

ShellExecute ("Photoshop.exe")

sleep (3000)

while 1
if not ProcessExists ("Photoshop.exe") then set_time ()
    sleep (1000)
WEnd


func set_time ()
    _Date_Time_SetLocalTime(DllStructGetPtr($tCur))
EndFunc

but when i run it i just get a error message from windows :/

#Include <Date.au3>

Local $tCur = _Date_Time_GetLocalTime()
Local $tNew = _Date_Time_EncodeFileTime(6,27,2009, @HOUR, @MIN, @SEC)

_Date_Time_SetLocalTime(DllStructGetPtr($tNew))
ShellExecuteWait("Photoshop.exe")
_Date_Time_SetLocalTime(DllStructGetPtr($tCur))

hmm, did not get this to work.... it would not set the date!?

Replace this line.

$tNew = _Date_Time_EncodeSystemTime(6, 27, 2009, @HOUR, @MIN, @SEC)
