I try to launch a self written autoit application called KeyShortcuts.exe using a batch

  • 0

I try to launch a self written autoit application called “KeyShortcuts.exe” using a batch called “launchMacros.bat“. This applications provides keyboard shortcuts for various things and includes a GUI which shows me the available shortcuts.

launchMacros.bat:

start "MyMacros" "M:\applications\AutoIt\KeyShortcuts.exe"

The application does start and I’m able to use every shortcut but I’m not able to see the GUI.

If I start the application direct (double click on KeyShortcuts.exe) everythings works fine.

I also tryed starting the application using runas:

runas /user:REQUIREDUSERNAME /savecred "M:\applications\AutoIt\KeyShortcuts.exe"

Same problem here. Even right click -> “Run as administrator” doesnt worked.

Any suggestions?

    If your batch file is in a different directory than KeyShortcuts.exe, you may need to specify the starting directory using the /D parameter for START.

    Like this:

    START "MyMacros" /D "M:\applications\AutoIt" "M:\applications\AutoIt\KeyShortcuts.exe"
