 |
|
I had some issues using
run, Target, %A_ScriptDir%
And I also tried %A_Script%\
neither worked properly nor did they work with the target in a folder of the script dir
That above was on Win98
I had a runwait issue too (on XP)
Runwait ran the target fine but paused the thread. Are these know bugs?

| It's surprising that the first one you mentioned doesn't work, but as for RunWait, it's meant to pause the thread. As the name implies, RunWait waits (pauses) until the program run has completed. |

yes run wait should pause until the Target is running, or does it pause until it run and exits?

It would help to have more details, such as the text in the error dialog when the run failed.

It waits until the launched program finishes running and exits. |

Ok I havnt cont. testing on the RunWait, under the assumption that I was misusing it, but here is the details on Run Using Win 98
This is the code
| Code: |
Run, MKTips.ahk, %A_ScriptDir%
|
There is not error dialog like other attempts to run a file that isnt in the specified path, it just simply doent run and continues the current thread.

Try this:
| Code: | | Run, %A_ScriptDir%\MKTips.ahk |
I think you're confused about what the "working directory" is. It's not the directory it looks for the program/file in, it's the directory it sets it to run in. |

I tried running one script from another on Windows 98se, using the example you posted above. If the target file did not exist, it produced an error dialog. If it did, the script was launched okay.
So I'm not sure what the problem could be. Perhaps you could test it on a different Win98 machine (if you have one). |

| You should get a Linux distro optimized for old machines. I did that with my old 288mhz, and I was truly amazed. I'm still actually using it, too (albeit much less than my 1.2ghz Linux). |

 My main machine for a few months (due to a motherboard/processor burn out) was a PII 400 (XP Pro, 256MB SDRAM, DVD burner, 240GB HD space, 64MB AGP 3d vid card, etc...) I doubt the fact it is a PII is the issue... |
