DUDE
This is crazy talk...... (got that line from some movie back in the '80's) Anyway, I just took a look at the properties of both the
original short-cut that I have always used and the new one today. They are exactly the same, say for one part
ORIGINAL short-cut that has always worked:
Target: "G:\Games\Renault\Truck Racing\Bin\RTR.exe"
Start in: "G:\Games\Renault\Truck Racing" <---- must have copied from Desktop after game install....I never do that, as I create batch files
NEW short-cut that I made today:
Target: "G:\Games\Renault\Truck Racing\Bin\RTR.exe"
Start in: "G:\Games\Renault\Truck Racing\Bin" <----- this one includes Bin and makes perfect sense, as the exe is located in that folder
AHK.exe script WORKS:
Run, "G:\Games\Renault\Truck Racing\Bin\RTR.exe" (but this file MUST be located in the "Truck Racing" and not "Bin" folder)
AHK.exe script FAILS:
Run, "G:\Games\Renault\Truck Racing\Shortcut to RTR.lnk"
AHK.exe script FAILS:
Run, "G:\Games\Renault\Truck Racing\Bin\Shortcut to RTR.lnk"
I now have the AHK.exe & batch files located in the Truck Racing folder and allow AHK.exe to launch the game and works great
Many thanks for getting me to look at the issue from a different perspective
I pronounce this issue not only resolved, but is the 9th wonder of the world
