It's not working

try this:

$file_loc = "C:\Documents and Settings\178000\Desktop\FIFTH1desk.au3"
 
If @Compiled = 1 Then
     $file_exe = FileGetShortName(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & $file_loc & '"')
     Run($file_exe)
Else
     $file_au3 = FileGetShortName($file_loc)
     Run(@AutoItExe & " " & $file_au3, "", @SW_HIDE)
 EndIf

will work if your first script is compiled or not

It's not working

"it's not working" is not guaranteed to get things moving is it? I mean a little information would have helped.

Maybe you didn't install AutoIt the way I did and you don't have those registry settings, in which case you should be able to substitute the correct path to AutIt3.exe.

Can someone explain to me why this code doesn't work?

run("C:\Location\File_name.au3")

does the file need to be compiled?

au3 files aren't exeecutable files. Try ShellExecute

[Kerros]

shell Execute is how I run an au3 file from a script.

ShellExecuteWait(@ProgramFilesDir & '\AutoIt3\Aut2Exe\Aut2exe.exe', ' /in C:\Documents and Settings\178000\Desktop\FIFTH1desk.au3')
