[SOLVED]Run command stopped execution

[PoojaKrishna]

Hi friends,

The Run command on my machine suddenly stopped execution.

Anyone of you facing the same issue?

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <FileConstants.au3.>
#RequireAdmin
$ExeName = FileOpenDialog("Select AutoIt executable", @ScriptDir & "\", "(*.exe)", $FD_FILEMUSTEXIST)
If not @error Then
    If FileExists($ExeName) Then
        $iPID = Run($ExeName, "", @SW_HIDE, $STDIN_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
        If @error Then
            msgbox(0,"Failed", "Failed execution with @error: " & @error)
        EndIf

    Else
        Msgbox(0,"", "File does not exist")
    EndIf

EndIf

The above code always fails to execute the executable file. It was working perfect and stopped working now.

I have tried adding the files and folders to windows defender exclusion list and uninstalling the anti virus but still no luck.

OS: Windows 10 - 64 bit

Please help.

Uhhhhh, you have it set to @SW_HIDE. Are you sure it is not running the exe? It works fine for me (when I remove the hide of course)

Yes, I'm sure it is not working as I always get the message box:

---------------------------
Failed
---------------------------
Failed execution with : 1
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Tested for that only now, and found it working for all executable other than executable from a particular path : D:\Pooja Projects.

Is D: a network drive?

No, it is not a network drive. It is working for all other folders on D: other than the mentioned folder.

It was working perfect till last day and suddenly stopped working today with no change in my codes or system settings.

doesn't look look like an AutoIt problem then, guess your antivirus doesn't like that exe

It could be related to the following with Windows 10 issue.

Yes, may be. But I uninstalled the antivirus and restarted the machine.

It is not a shared folder too.

I can move the files to an another folder to make it work for now.

PoojaKrishna,

What if you first backup or rename the folder .. \user\AppData\Local\AutoIt v3
so it doesn't exist  and  try again

Deye,

Tried but no help. But the system does not allow me to rename the folder D:\Pooja Projects, even if no files of the folder are open. Seems to be infected. 

[PoojaKrishna]

Copied all the files to a new folder and it is working . But no idea about the issue with other folder.

Thank you for all your help.

Run commands don't like spaces in paths unless you add quotes around it. ..same is true through the command line

Example

$s = '"./some dir/some.exe"'

Or, on the run itself:

Run ('"' & $yourvariable & '"')

Yes jdelancey, corrected and it worked perfect.

Thank you so much for your help.

Edit: But still not sure how it was working earlier in the same folder.
