Hi all! How to run this code. I want to start wmp, but i am need to run wmp in spite of
 that a system drive is not "C:"

sorry if i write wrong, i am a new here

here a code

$all_wmp = @ProgramFilesDir & "\windows media player\wmlpayer.exe"
MsgBox (0, 0, $all_wmp)
Run ($all_wmp)

I believe that the @ProgramFilesDir macro will return the Program Files directory of the host system.

If installation is outside of the Program Files directory you can have the user browse for file path to location and save setting.  Alternatively you maybe able to check the registry for the file path of Windows Media Player exe.  I'll research the registry idea real quick.

$all_wmp = @ProgramFilesDir & "\windows media player\wmlpayer.exe"

If FileExists( $all_wmp) Then
    Run ($all_wmp)
Else
    MsgBox (0, "ERROR", "The File was not found    " & @crlf & $all_wmp)
    ; do something else... find file etc...
EndIf

Maybe...

Also note that "wmplayer.exe" is miss-spelled in your string as "wmlpayer.exe".
