Force script to run locally

[CyberSlug]

I have some compiled AutoIt scripts that run from a network drive. The scripts worked fine on XP. With Vista, the scripts would only work if run locally. (UAC is disabled; I think the issue was with some nested RunAs magic and how Vista handles credentials.)

Anyway, the following fixed all my scripts that broke with Vista:

If FileGetLongName(@TempDir) <> FileGetLongName(@ScriptDir) Then
    FileCopy(@ScriptName, @TempDir & "\" & @ScriptName)
    Run(@TempDir & "\" & @ScriptName)
    Exit
EndIf

;This script is running locally now.
MsgBox(0x1000, "Test", "Running locally now" & @LF & @ScriptDir)

; Optionally use the _SelfDelete() UDF to clean up after self...

P.S. It's been too long since I've been on the forums!

Good solution CS. Thanks.

You bet it has. Welcome back. And yes, your sig does need a minor update. It looks like it's from 3 years ago.

That's interesting. It took me a moment to figure out the first If statement, but it's pretty sound.
