Why does running the direct path not work, but clicking on it does?

Code: Select all

^#!o::
Run, C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe
return

This is what happens when I run it using the shortcut

but if I go to the exact same directory and click on it, no such error occurs:

Adding to what mikeyww said this will work: (tested)
Run, obs64.exe, C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit
