With the amount of questions I create I might set fire in the support forum soon.. Anyways. I can't seem to figure this one out;

I am supposed to make a program that will run on 3 different variants of windows XP. They are all set up the same with programs etc. but some are simply different. Some are Norwegian, some English and the rest are Spanish.

When I am automating the program it's not a big problem. The program has the same name on each version and everything works flawless there.

But eventually I get a window which is "save as" on each version. How can I effectively make the script seperate between each one, so I can have a universal .exe instead of 3 different ones?

I tried to use the [CLASS:#32770] instead of the title name, but then the script stops working. turns out there is another window on the screen (logmein) which is class #32770 as well.

Hi, Aarstad. What about starting your script out checking the @OSLang variable? You can then code different scenarios based on the language.

Hi, Aarstad. What about starting your script out checking the @OSLang variable? You can then code different scenarios based on the language.

I didn't know about this function. It seems to work now. Thanks a lot.

However new question about multiple languages and variations in OS;

Instead of doing this

Run ("C:ProgramfilesSomeprogramMyfile.something")

Is it possible to instead do

Run ("[programfiles][installation program][installed file]")

This way it is not trying to run a file in a specific location, but instead of the general program files folder for windows.

The first code would work on an english version, but a spanish one wouldn't work at all.

And how would you run another path depending on the OS language before executing the script ?

OR I have missed something, anyway JLogan3o13 is right, @OSLang is the best way to do it (GetKeyBoardLayout is more accurate).

Br, FireFox.

What about using environment variables instead? For example using EnvSet/Get to create your own (temporary variables.)

#include <WinAPI.au3>

EnvSet('INSTALLATIONPATH', 'Install Path')
EnvSet('EXAMPLE', 'Example Folder')
Run(_WinAPI_ExpandEnvironmentStrings('%PROGRAMFILES%%INSTALLATIONPATH%%EXAMPLE%'))

I think you're on to something big here. I'll check it out and let you know if this was the perfect function I was looking for!

When it says #include <winAPI.au3>, does this mean I will have to install autoit on the computer I will run the .exe on or will it include it automatically when compiled?

No, the compiled script includes the functions it needs to call from the UDF. Try looking at #include in the help file, and remember that the help file is your friend.
