Process Close Randomly Not Working

[kjcdude@…]

I run my scripts on over 600 PCs and have been running this portion of the script every other night for 9 months and have only seen an issue in v3.2.13.11.

On ~1/15 pcs when this portion of the script is ran the process is not actually closed.
Here's the portion of the script.

ProcessClose("Gw.exe")

Here's the entire file.

If FileExists("C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe") Then
	run("C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe")
	sleep(5000)
EndIf
if ProcessExists("Gw.exe") = 0 Then
	DirCopy("Y:\Guild Wars", "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars", 1)
	RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ArenaNet\Guild Wars", "Path", "REG_SZ", "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe")
	RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ArenaNet\Guild Wars", "SRC", "REG_SZ", "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe")
Else
	sleep(60000)
	ProcessClose("Gw.exe")
EndIf

That's nice. Now, create a thread in support and talk about the issue with others who can help you. You've given no useful information at all. You've also posted code without any error checking so as far as I can tell you have no proof the code is even flowing how you think it is.

At any rate, I find it unlikely this is actually a bug in AutoIt. Even if it is a bug in AutoIt, you haven't provided any information to reproduce it. So I'm closing this.

The bug that i have found is reproducible. As i stated it's random.

ProcessClose("Gw.exe") works within v3.2.13.10 and earlier, but not with v3.2.13.11.

It's a very simple error that I'm encountering and i have provided all the information i have. Sorry for wasting your time.

Replying to kjcdude@…:

Is it random or is it reproduceable? It can't be both. It can't be random, either, because nothing in computers is random. But it might be under some incredibly obscure circumstance. Without knowing what that circumstance is there is nothing that can be done to remedy it.

ProcessClose("Gw.exe") works within v3.2.13.10 and earlier, but not with v3.2.13.11.

Nothing was changed between those two versions that would affect ProcessClose().
